P.8 The ABC’s 2011-2012 Sailing Season: The Awards, the Winners, the Celebration
P.9 The ABC capped its 2011-2012 racing season with its annual prize-giving dinner and drinks in the Main Clubhouse’s Harbour Room on 19 May. ABC Commodore John Berry welcomed some 60 dinner attendees, both ABC members and guests from fellow clubs. Rear Commodore Bruce Perkins, chairman of the ABC Sailing and Marine Committee, thanked members of the Sailing Committee for organising the 2011-2012 sailing programme. He also thanked Jebsen Marine for sponsoring the Waglan race and Fine Vintage for sponsoring the 2011 summer series. Sail Committee Chair Perkins went on to thank ABC General Manager Philippe de Manny for his support as Race Officer throughout the Waglan series, and also acknowledged and thanked the ABC’s marine staff for laying buoys and manning the committee boats. The 2011 Summer Dinghy series was quite popular with 17 open Dinghies and 15 Optimists entering. The 2011 Autumn Dinghy series had 19 open Dinghies and seven Optimists. The 2011 Summer Series featured six races with 18 boats, while the 2011-2012 Waglan series had 10 races with 29 boats. Long-serving Sail Committee member Diana Bruce announced the results and winners for the Dinghies, while chairman Bruce Perkins made the announcements in the yacht category. The commodore’s wife, Natalie Berry, presented all prizes in both categories and in turn received a bouquet of flowers in thanks from Bruce Perkins. Bruce announced that Lucky Beer will sponsor the 2012 Summer Series races.
