To celebrate the conclusion of the Half Ton Classics Cup 2025, the Prize Giving and Dinner was held at the Imperial Hotel. Every Half Ton entrant attended the dinner to mark the end of a successful, fun-packed regatta. The Royal Torbay Yacht Club Race Committee was also invited, giving the Class an opportunity to personally thank them for their invaluable help and support throughout the event.

The Prize Giving started with the Half Tonners awarding a Ladies Trophy for the first time. This was won by Midnight X.

Vintage Trophy for Half Ton Classics Cup 2025 was won by Insolent.

Harmony was awarded the the Half Ton Corinthian Trophy.

Oplite won the fabulous Half Ton Class True Spirit Trophy.

2 Farr gave an out standing performance throughout the week. They won the overall Half Ton Classics Cup Trophy for 2025.

We had several boats that had never attended a Half Ton Classics Cup before. They had thoroughly enjoyed the weeks racing, social event and getting to know the other sailors.

It was great to see so many family members who joined in as either part of the crew or as support during the week. The youngest Half Tonner in the making was David Evans’ grandson from Halfajet. He had great fun distributing his stickers to all.
