Fun & Friendly Award

The Fun & Friendly Award

It's up for grabs again! The Fun & Friendly award will be presented at CHYC at the end of regatta prize giving on Friday 6 January 2012. The award goes to the crew who have the most fun and get into the spirit of the series in Coffs Harbour. It will be judged by the staff and Vice Commodore at CHYC.

Previous winners:

2009 - Julian Farren-Price - About Time
2010 - Hudson/Murphy/Lockley - Pretty Woman
2011 - Bruce Staples - Witchcraft

Inaugural winner, Jullian Farren-Price 'About Time'  who had this to say about the award:

On his crew and the hospitality in Coffs Harbour, Farren- Price commented, “While we were thrilled to win the 2009 race and series we were probably even more honoured to be presented with the magnificent trophy called the “Fun & Friendly Award” by the Coffs Harbour Yacht Club and staff. We love to race and do well on About Time but we have no professionals and sail with a great team who just like to be together. That way even a poor result can be a good day. It was lovely tribute to my crew that others recognised the good spirit that existed. The trophy of a boat made of various pieces of flotsam and jetsam was every so carefully loaded onto About Time the night it was presented and was on its way to Sydney within hours, it now has pride of place in a specially made alcove in our house."
