2023 DUBIOUS DISTINCTION AWARD

This award is given to the person deemed to have done the most to save the other members of the Club from having their own blunders recognized. This handsome piece of questionably useful furniture is given in grateful appreciation that the previous recipient won’t receive it two times in a row.  This award is given to the person deemed to have done the most to save the other members of the Club from having their own blunders recognized.

The club owes its admiration to this year’s earner for allowing his boat to leave the dock to go out and race without him. He sat on the dock getting ready with his boat nearby and the next thing he knew, his boat, along with his equipment bag, was sailing away all by itself. For this special feat, which was caught on camera by the person who rescued the boat only AFTER taking the picture, we award the Hat Rack for 2023 to:

                John Houstle
