The Sussex Yacht Club (SYC) Cup was back for another bumper entry in 2022 on a hot Saturday 13 August. A total of 14 boats took to the water to contest the two-part event. By combining the popular Pursuit race format with a single fleet race, the SYC Cup provides a variety of competition to the members of Sussex Yacht Club.
Racing was followed by prize-giving at the SYC club house. Thanks again to North Sails and Musto for kind donations of prizes which included sports holdalls and clothing. Prizes, including the much-liked SYC Cup bar tokens, were available for podium finishes in each race and the overall trophies available for both NHC and IRC.
In IRC the over SYC IRC CUP results were determined on the basis that these boats would lose their NHC overall finishes. The IRC winning boats overall were 1st Moose - Skippers Antony Tomkins and Chris Hawkes, 2nd Expresso - skipper Phil Methold and 3rd Delfina - Skipper Justin Barber.
In NHC, after IRC finishers removed, the SYC Cup was awarded 1st Zonpuka - Skipper Giles Mayley, 2nd Krac On - Skipper Kevin Headon (SYC Commodore) and 3rd Clewless Skipper Charlie & SYC Club.
Thanks to all the hospitality staff at SYC for again a stellar effort to feed and serve all the returning sailors (especially while there was another large private event ongoing at the club).
Thanks to all the skippers, crews, and onshore support of everyone involved at SYC that made such a fantastic day on the water.
