Everyone had a good time. I thanked Pat and Kim Hanna, Bill Raposa, and Kathy Melven for their roles in organizing the banquet. Applause. Special thanks to Pat who had&nbsp;the brilliant idea of using club funds to get a caterer to supply the food. Louder applause!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Venda Ravioli was the chosen caterer and they did a fine job if the reaction of the twenty-one diners was anything to go by.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We had three Soling Regattas during the season. The winners were Paul Mercer (twice) and Greg LaPlante. Runners-up were Jim Kelly, Kim Hanna, and Paul. Third place finishers were Bill Raposa (twice) and Bill Northup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We held one DF95 Regatta which was won by Fokka de Jong with Greg LaPlante in second place and Henry DiPietro in third.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now for the big one: The DF95 Championship held over 16 race days. The full results are attached.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Five prizes were awarded with fifth place going to Nick Bailey, fourth to Fokka de Jong, third to Paul Mercer, second to Bill David, and first to John Reilly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wilkie Marvel made presentations&nbsp;to Judy David and Connie Sampston who have been so helpful to the club this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wilkie then made comments about the Corinthian Trophy which is awarded once per year to the member who is a champion of fair play and makes a significant contribution to the success of the club. The 2024 Trophy winner is&nbsp;<strong>Paul Mercer<\/strong>. A very well-deserved and popular winner. Congratulations, Paul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mhbmyc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/IMG_3599-scaled.jpeg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/mhbmyc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/IMG_3599-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2934\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mhbmyc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/IMG_3599-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/mhbmyc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/IMG_3599-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/mhbmyc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/IMG_3599-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/mhbmyc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/IMG_3599-1536x2048.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/mhbmyc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/IMG_3599-285x380.jpeg 285w, https:\/\/mhbmyc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/IMG_3599-scaled.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>So that&#8217;s the 2024 season&#8230;&#8230;well, almost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tomorrow ( Tuesday) we&#8217;ll be lifting the marks and stowing the dinghy&nbsp;at 1.00 pm.
