The idea is to encourage all WOA members to extend
their own cruising horizons; hence the criteria takes into account
not simply what has been achieved, but the size of boat, the strength
and experience of the crew, the time available and the sense of
adventure. If you have stretched your cruising horizons, write it
up for us and you will be in with a real chance, even if other members
have done similar things before.
| Entry conditions: All cruising logs submitted to the Magazine
Editor by 1st October will be assessed and the Rayner Challenge
Plate presented to the winner at the following WOA AGM. The
cruise should normally be of at least 7 days duration in a Westerly
yacht and have finished not more than 12 months prior to submission.
Crew strength, wind and sea conditions should be noted. The
log should be accompanied by a diagram of the route if this
is not clear from the text. Photographs should accompany the
log for publication, but will not be included in the judges'
assessment. |
The
Rayner Challenge Plate, our oldest and most prestigious piece of
silverware, is awarded annually for 'Best Cruise undertaken in a
Westerly'.
