We are delighted to report that we have been awarded The Kennedy Trophy for our trip from Largs to the Med covering a total of 1849 nautical miles in 2008. The announcement was made last night at the AGM of the Royal Scottish Motor Yacht Club of which we are members. Elaine Dick of Brandy Burn kindly accepted the Trophy on our behalf, presenting our little video acceptance speech which we were asked to make just in case we won.
The Trophy, originally presented in 1961 by Mr. Ernest Kennedy, is awarded annually to the member of the Club making the most merit-worthy cruise during the past season with no restrictions on area or duration. The first recipient was Mr. AL Parker on his yacht, Rosneath Star, in 1961. Elaine & Charlie are looking after the Trophy for us until we pop home in April - a huge thank you to both of them. Hope you all enjoy our short video.
