Presented to the Club by ‘Buster’ (Vice Commodore 1957-1959) and Mrs De Guingand, the Bowl goes to the winner of the annual race bearing their name. The race will head out from the Royal Yacht Squadron line, rounding marks and waypoints, and taking in the headlands of the central English Channel, before returning to the Solent to finish. Complex tides and the rounding of virtual marks adds to the challenge for the skippers and crews, with the course being set to take account of the expected wind and tidal conditions. Winner overall of the last edition in 2019 was Ross Applebey’s Oyster Lightwave 48 Scarlet Oyster.
