Sherwell Family Trophy

Another crisp, bright, windless Autumn afternoon, perfect for time trialling.

Diane Ward, daughter of Avon Sherwell, the family patriarch and wife of past PC Ward made the presentations. Four female generations of the Sherwell family enjoyed the catch up with members and dinner on the Quarterdeck afterwards.

The Opening Day “Dark Side” Trophy for yachts was won by and awarded to Laurence Hansen, who completes in his yacht each week at 5 knots, most often with his nephew, Lewis as navigator. Congratulations Windjana. Was Lewis rewarded maybe with a hoist to the top of the mast?

As is tradition, ladies from our Time Trialling fleet enjoyed complementary bubbles to celebrate Mother’s Day, before results. First place (starboard fleet) winners, Least Points lost and the Trophy this week went to Amazon.
