Civil Engineers’ Cup – Top sailing at Little Britain

The ICE Civil Engineers Club (CEC) are pleased to announce the award of a new trophy to the highest placed civil engineering boat each year in the Little Britain regatta.

The CEC Trophy will be called the Sir John Coode Trophy  in honour of the famous Civil Engineer who specialised in Harbour Works. His achievements include Portland Harbour (UK), plus Colombo Harbour (Sri Lanka), Cape Town and Victoria Dock, Melbourne. He also designed the first lighthouse made of reinforced concrete at La Corbiere, Jersey.

The trophy will be awarded annually to the highest placed boat that is owned, skippered or crewed by a Civil Engineer (member of ICE), including students.  This will be administered by CEC and further details about entry can be obtained from David Hardcastle (dabg@btinternet.com)
