Each November, all club members are invited to submit a log, or other account giving details of their cruises during the season just ending (or earlier seasons if there is a good reason for the delay!). The report should be submitted to the Captain of Cruising by email as a pdf attachment not exceeding 25mb, with individual photos reduced to 1mb. The deadline is 31 January in the following year. Logs can include any mix of text, photographs and charts. All Logs will be placed on this page, to enable electronic access by members.
Since cruising has been disrupted by Covid-19 regulations throughout the 2020 season, there is a risk that there will fewer reports completed in the Log competition this year. The Cruising Sub-Committee has agreed that for the 2020 competition:
The submitted Logs will be assessed by a panel of Cruising Sub-Committee members, who will award the Crusing Trophies. These can be awarded both to owners and their crews and to those chartering yachts. Submissions will be judged primarily on what has been achieved, rather than the standard of submission, with the exception of the Senior Brownlow Cup, where the quality of the narrative may be taken into account.
Places visited (a simple track chart helps); weather and sea encountered; documentation requirements; berthing arrangements including availability, cost and facilities; mooring and anchoring issues; fuel and water availability and cost; provisioning issues; eating out; any particular incidents, excitements and challenges; lessons learnt for the benefit of others; photos or sketches that enhance the text.
