The appearance
of "Tammy" at the Jubilee was an example of the big effort
put into the event by the organisers. Tammy is a 13' 6" Marne
Marine hull that was powered intially by a Ford 10 power plant and
laterly a Ford Consul motor. This display was mounted in the reception
centre foyer and featured numerous relics from the Club's early years.

Club 2009 Champion of Champions, Karl Donaldson receives his trophies
from father and Club Commodore Neil.
A number of trophies were on display at the Jubilee. On the right
is the John Kumm Shield awarded to the top team at the Asian Australiasian
Championships each year. While history has seen the trophy spend most
of its time in Australia, the Kiwi team including CAC member, Scott
McFadden bought it home in 2008. In the top of the pic is a newspaper
cutting of Scott McFadden with the trophy and medals on his return
from the AA's, last year.
