Commodores Cup NavRally 2026
Competitors enjoyed a lovely Autumn morning with light winds and plenty of sunshine. Conditions were ideal for running a Nav Rally and led to some solid scores from the field.
The Commodores Cup is a favourite Nav Rally event on the calendar. This year's course heading West from the club and then around Ricketts Point before heading out into Beaumaris Bay. After some longer legs the boat returned past Table Rock to the finish at BMYS.
Congratulations to Bill Joughin skipper of Spirit Level for winning the event with a great score of 27 points.
