2023 roundup

brown cup scottish schools results

This year's event commenced with a two-day training weekend for around 34 boats. The coaching aims to improve skills for the experienced racers and introduce race skills to the less experienced sailors, some of whom were competing for their first time. The weekend aims to prepare them for the Brown Cup event held on Monday. As in previous years, the coaching staff consisted of RYA-certified coaches or instructors, with several former Brown Cup competitors. Despite the gale-force winds, the coaches managed a day of onshore coaching on Saturday, followed by some superb strong wind sailing for all on Sunday.

Brown Cup Event ran a cafe for three days, with evening meals served in the clubhouse on Saturday and Sunday evenings. The catering was a huge success; well done to all involved.

Monday morning saw a further 28 Competitors register for race day resulting in a fleet of 62 boats representing Schools throughout Scotland.
Thankfully the weather conditions eased for Monday with 15mph winds from West South-West. The race team ran two excellent races before a 20 knot + squall came through, resulting in the end of racing for the day.
The Brown Cup is awarded to the top team of three boats, and there are three fleets; Optimist, Topper, and General handicap. This year the event saw 10 Optimists, 29 Toppers, and 23 General handicap boats compete. 4 and 4 Primary School Sailors. 14 School teams competed for the Brown Cup.

A huge congratulations to the High School of Dundee, who retained the Brown Cup

A massive thank you to our sponsor Optos who is providing sponsorship for the next three years. More on Optos here.

All competitors were given a branded race bib as part of their entry, and prizes were awarded throughout the weekend.

Spot prizes for effort and enthusiasm, and sometimes just for getting back on the water after boat equipment failures such as a broken mast or a broken daggerboard!

BROWN CUP SCOTTISH SCHOOL SAILING

about

First origins

scottish inter-schools sailing regatta

The Brown Cup Scottish Schools Regatta Event was introduced to Scottish Sailing in 1959 by Loch Earn Sailing Club.

The event is an inter-school sailing regatta with two days of coaching to enable sailors at Primary and Secondary school to race in the Scottish Schools Race which forms part of the event.

Jack’s daughter, Morag Donaldson, was also to become Commodore some years later and kept up the family interest in the event. In the early days, fleets were small and largely dependant on the children of members conning a day off school in June to compete in their parent’s boat. There were also entries from establishments like Morrisons where sailing was on the curriculum. The boats were mostly wooden hulls and masts.

1992 - 2002 Harvey MacMillan (Commodore 1992) was responsible for the first significant modern change in the format with his successful attempt to make the regatta more National. His invitations to schools all over Scotland brought entries from Oban to the Borders.

2002 - 2007 - Mark Champion made the next significant change by negotiating sponsorship from Skandia in 2002 a partnership that lasted until 2007.
2007 onwards - The last change to the event format took place when Mark handed over to Colin Tait, Cammy Murray & Alan Forsyth. A training weekend prior to the Brown Cup was added and the Brown Cup was moved to a Monday. The event is now a fixture in the sporting calendar of many Scottish Schools with fleets in the range of 70 - 85 boats.
