Mark Salerno - Fusion

Golden Duck Awards are given to the members who have made the most significant contribution to the entertainment of their fellow yachtsman through displays of unique seamanship, agility in small boats, or other graces.

In a Shirley Hall race Mark failed to inform warn his female driver that there are submerged rocks just off the south end of the Kelsey Point breakwater.  Clunk!

Golden Duck Award - Port

Mark Salerno - Fusion & Mark DeNamur Badger

 

Fusion hit a rock after rounding N6 (to port) then sailing close up the east side of Duck Island.  Badger, not far behind, saw the hit and thought, "glad it's not me", and promptly hit a different rock. Double clunk!

 

In case anyone is counting, Mark Salerno now leads in the Golden Duck awards with 3. Mark McCarthy, Dave Knauber and Paul von Maffei have 2 each.
