3) BARTON CUP Awarded to a member for the most meritorious voyage.
Peter Passano (Sea Bear) - for his 13 month, 21,500 mile, cruise from Virginia, USA to the Azores, Ireland, England, Spain, Portugal, the Canaries, Brazil, South Georgia, South Africa, St Helena, Bermuda and back to Maine, USA aboard his 39ft cutter Sea Bear. Much of the cruise was sailed single-handed, and when Peter signed on crew it appears to have been more for their company (and cooking!) than for assistance in sailing the boat.

5) ROSE MEDAL - Awarded to a member for the most meritorious short-handed voyage.
Alan Tyson-Carter (Karma) - for his circumnavigation, mainly single handed, aboard his 39ft steel ketch. His voyage began in Kiel, Germany in September, 1998 where it started with a Force 8 Gale which took him all the way to England. It has ended in a Storm Force 10 on the night of 13/14 November when he had to heave to off Start Point! He had crew as far as Martinique on the outward leg, but then single handed since then. The route was the classic one Germany to UK, leaving Falmouth for NW Spain, Portugal to Madera, The Canaries, Cape Verde Islands to Barbados; hit a whale after a gale passed on the crossing. No damage to the boat, but the whale was left bleeding behind; Barbados to Martinique, St Lucia, ABC Islands, Panama, Galapagos, Marquesas, Tuamotus, Society Islands, Cook Islands, Tonga, New Zealand, Fiji where the coup took place just before he arrived; to Vanuatu, Cairns, Australia, round Great Barrier Reef to Darwin, Timor; along Indonesian Island chain to Bali, Singapore, Langkawi Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Maldives, Aden, Red Sea, Malta, Sardinia, Gibraltar and ending in England.

6) OCC AWARD - Awarded to the member(s) who has/have done most to "foster and encourage oceancruising in small craft and the practice of seamanship and navigation in all branches". This may include any invention, report, idea or action which is calculated to promote the objectives of the Club.
Betty Lindsay-Thomson - who is now well into her eighties and one of our oldest members who has never owned her own boat but has, until recently, been clocking up an average of 5,000 miles per annum crewing on other people’s boats. She has always been a happy, positive and useful crewman, extremely loyal to her skippers, and has kept her fellow watch keepers entertained for many a long night watch with her tales and anecdotes. She is still top of ‘the desired crew list’ at Sunsail for skippers who are asked to make delivery trips on their charter yachts. She is a regular attendee at OCC functions be they local social events in a pub in Southampton or distant rallies such as the Commodore’s Millennium Cruise in the BVI’s, Ireland and Falmouth. She has, over the years, given dedicated service to the Club by acting on the committee for many years, stuffing envelopes with the club secretary when no other help was available and has been a constant supporter of subsequent committees and social event organisers, in short, in all her activities over the years she has been active in promoting the objects of our club.

10) VASEY VASE - Awarded to the members who have carried out a 'a voyage of an unusual or exploratory nature'.
Denise Evans (Dunlin of Wessex) - has made many ambitious voyages, often to high latitudes, in her Tradewind 33, but last year, at the age of 71, she had a crew of two young men, one of whom was, later exchanged for a young girl student. They went north from Scotland and broke a chain plate off Norway so had to go into Bodo for repairs. They then went on to Spitzbergen and spent three weeks circumnavigating the island. They encountered a lot of ice and were eventually caught out on a lee shore in a gale in the ice in fog. They held off and on for 24 hours tacking in a lead till they found a way out. They eventually found an anchorage after five days at sea in confined waters.
