Centennial Rudder Cup Winner

Posted on May 23, 2013 by Alan Houghton - waitematawoodys.com founder

CENTENNIAL RUDDER CUP

Raindance the floating head office for waitematawoodys picked up another shiny thing at the CYA prize giving last night. Will sit nicely alongside the Motor Launch Trophy won last year.

This year Raindance collected the Centennial Rudder Cup, the trophy donated by Pauline & Harold Kidd to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Rudder Cup Race, one of the most significant events in our motor launch history.

Special mention should be made to my boat boy Simon Yates.
