It is with great pleasure and pride that we announce the launching of the new Selsey inshore lifeboat - the 'Thomas and Betty Moore'. I'm sure you will remember that Betty was a long time Sunbeam sailor who died recently. Betty was honoured in 2006 by Cowes Combined Clubs in recognition of her outstanding contribution and commitment to sailing at this world-famous yachting event. |

We do seem to have had some great news from the Sunbeam Class this year - and it's with great pleasure that we bring the following to your attention. As you know Dainty has competed for many years in the South of France in the early Autumn series.
"It
was a great surprise that we found ourselves (the crew of Dainty) being called up at the prize giving to receive an oration describing how much those organising these great regattas appreciated the Sunbeam returning every year, competing in every race and displaying the 8 metre long classic Sunbeam, by far the smallest yach in the regattas, beside those many times the size. We felt it was a great honour to receive on behalf of the class. Quite overwhelming".
Dainty's owners receiving the award, " la tape de bouche du YCF", at Saint-Tropez from Patrice Brunet, Vice-President of Yacht Club de France, for the Sunbeam's contribution to classic yacht racing in the Mediterranean. They were then special guests of the officers of YCF at their Coupe D'Automne dinner. |
