2012 CDA Awards Night

On Friday Oct 19th the Canadian I14 fleet hosted our nearly-annual awards night at the Crown and Beaver Pub at the RCYC.  Thanks to everyone for attending, and to the RCYC staff for taking care of us all night.

The Norman R Gooderham Trophy (third from right, second row), awarded to the RCYC Club Champion, was won by Andrew Yates and John Curtis.  2nd place was Gordon Cook and Christian Pavey, 3rd place was Scott Cuthbertson and Marco Koechli.  The Blue, Yellow, and Red RCYC plaques were also awarded for 1st, 2nd and 3rd.

The Fleet Captain's Cup (Immediately behind the 3 plaques, in front of the Gooderham Trophy) was awarded to the winner of the midweek series at the RCYC - no matter how you score it spring, summer, fall, or overall, this trophy was won by Peter Hayward and Marco Koechli.

The two Itchenor Trays were awarded to the winners of day 1 of the CDA Championships - one for the skipper, one for the crew.  This year's winners were Gordon Cook and Christian Pavey.

The Viscount Alexander of Tunis is awarded to the winner of the long distance race of the CDA Championships, or if no LD race is held, to the winner of the last race.  This year it was won by Chris Leigh and John Hudson, shown celebrating with it at right.

This year saw the awarding of a trophy that has been idle for many years - the British International 14 Foot Dinghy Team Tray, for a team race event competed for midsummer.  This year the winning team was Peter Hayward, Marco Koechli, Chris Leigh, and John Hudson.  We are planning to make a team-racing event an annual occurrence.
