After viewing both videos and weighing up options on who will pay the most for a win it looks like that Kermit is this week’s winner, plus it didn’t help Sinker distracting us causing 2 boats to run aground.
Just say’n
Good videos from all. Gadgets FPV landing even looked spot on, and it’s a pity Gadget and I couldn’t get closer to Predators plane. Great day flying for all minus one.
Well haven’t seen the video yet, but it seems the Sinker has won this week as it is the only entry .
Week done Sinker

Just going to keep this short…….. Kermit you won.
P.s. Sinker paid me to let you win. Ha ha

Well it’s a bit late coming but we’ll worth the wait. Mr Sinker showing his full potential with video making and editing and submitting an award winning video to be this week’s winner.
Kermit missed a good day’s sailing and the opertunity to be able to sail around Ron’s Reef sign without running aground
After watching all the videos here, I have come to a decision about this week’s winner and feel that they are all good videos, so this week’s winner is…….
SINKER, KERMIT, HOPPY AND SHEEP SHAGGER.
all equal first, no bitchin there fellas.
Picture of the week goes to Sinker
And the most times for running aground to Kermit

Sailing at Lauderdale Canal today was nothing short of exceptional, the sort of day that reminds everyone why we keep coming back to this quirky, spirited little stretch of water. The sun arrived early and stayed the whole day, warm but never overbearing, while a gentle breeze skimmed across the surface just strong enough to keep sails taut and sailors smiling. It was the kind of weather that could make even the rustiest skipper feel like a seasoned sea dog.
But what truly set today apart wasn’t just the conditions—it was the company. The much-celebrated Wheel Chair mob made their way down the canal, floating with effortless style toward the usual gathering of hardened salty sailors. The mingling of these two groups created an atmosphere of camaraderie difficult to describe but impossible to forget. There was laughter on the docks, chatter on the water, and a shared appreciation for being out in the open air together. Watching the two crews mix, trade stories, and cheer each other on added a spirit of inclusiveness and good humour that lifted the whole day.
Of course, no sail at Lauderdale would be complete without the ever-important media awards. Today’s Video Award goes—hands down—to Hoppy, who outdid himself by submitting not one but two outstanding videos. The man clearly had his camera pointed in all the right directions and maybe even caught a few moments the rest of us missed. Hoppy’s work not only captured the technical highlights of the day but also bottled up its energy, its small triumphs, and the unfiltered joy of being out on the water.
And to keep the frog happy, we’ll let him claim Picture of the Week—for now, at least. The honour stands unless the Sinker manages to come through with something extraordinary in the next round. There’s always room for a twist in the Lauderdale media saga, after all.
All said and done, today was one of those sailing days that felt effortless, cheerful, and slightly magical. With perfect weather, a beautifully blended crowd, and plenty of stories to carry forward, Lauderdale Canal proved once again that it isn’t just a place to sail—it’s a community afloat. Here’s to more days just like this one.
Yes Kermit, you got the runner up trophy. Not that we really have one, and Sinker you have the picture of the week again.
A few non biased comments
1. Hoppy is a registered member and therefore has the right to submit a video.
2. Bagging out other members on this side is not permitted.
3. The judge’s decision is final.
As I said before congratulations to Hoppy for this week’s winner

Well, It’s that time of the week again and it looks like the Sinker has failed to submit an award winning video this week, but looking at what we have here there seems to be a clear winner and it is definitely not the frog, especially after his comments about the judge in his video.
So I would like to announce this week’s winner is…….
Hoppy, well done there Sir.
