The Snowdon Cup is an honesty event which can be done any time throughout the season. It is up to you to record your times honestly and submit them to the race committee at least three weeks before the dinner and dance

The object is to set off across the Bay, towards the Porthmadoc fairway buoy, and set your clock as soon as the castle comes into sight. Continue around the buoy and head back, and stop the clock when you loose sight of the castle.

Quite simply the fastest time wins (apparently if you record a time of 5 minutes we’ll know you’re cheating!!!)

So go on, give it a go, the cup hasn't been awarded for some time and can be done easily in a days sailing (for clarification of the rules see Keith Beddard)
