FP May 11, 1923: Flushing Sailing Club - Two successful seasons. [formed may 4th, 1921]
Flushing (village) Regatta fixed for 11 August, 1923.
The gift of the magnificent Challenge Cup by the President, Mr. H.G. Sicklemore, of Rosilian, undoubtably acted as an incentive to many members in the [Flushing Sailing] Club's first season.
The Club Regatta was postponed from 21 August to 8 September, 1926, due to bad weather holding up the return of the yachts from Fowey.
The results for the [1926 RCYC Regatta] Race for Sunbeams was as follows: 1st
Una, 2nd
Little Lady, 3rd
Berthe. The others follows in this order,
Trent, Caprice, Halcyone, Merrythought and
Maranui. Caprice, owned by Mrs H. G. Sicklemore was a newcomer to the [Falmouth] class and built that year. [Mead p.130]
In the RCYC Regatta held on 7 September,
1929, the handicap race for 6-15 tons was won by
Anthea (H. G. Sicklemore), a new 8-metre boat built that year by Camper & Nicholson. In the Sunbeam class, the results were: 1st
Flame (W. H. Dowman), 2nd
Halcyone, 3rd
Maranui and 4th
Trent. The other competitor,
Caprice, gave up.
[Mead p.137]
In the
1932 Summer General Meetting,
H. G. Sicklemore was promoted Commodore [of the RCYC] in place of the late Col. L. Faulkner Brown, and
W. H. Dowman was promoted Vice-Commodore.
Captain C. H. Tremayne, M. C., late 11th Hussars, of

Carclew, who joined the club the previous year, was appointed Rear Commodore. Captain Tremayne was the son of a former member, and his grandfather and great-uncle had been founder members and flag officers of the club. At this meeting,
Capt. R. T. Dixon agreed to represent the club at the next R.Y. A. Conference and to offer the "J" and 12-metre classes a race in July 1933.
In 1932,
W. H. Dowman gifted the RCYC a photograph of
Cutty (8-metre) and the cups won by her. (see
1931)
[Note: No Falmouth Falmouth Sunbeam races between 1930 -1933, but from the summer of 1932, all the RCYC's officers were Sunbeam owners!]
1935 RCYC Regatta (10 August)
Sunbeams results: 1st Aida (H. G. Sicklemore); 2nd Maranui (A. Farrant); 3rd Merry-thought (C.B. & Mrs Tracey), 4th Flame (E.K. Tremayne) and 5th Solaire (Mrs Claude Lanyon). Aida was a new boat built in 1935.
Maranui had been sold by Capt. C.H. Tremayne to A. Farrant on the undertaking that she would not leave the port for three years.
Solaire was the new name given to Speedwell by Mrs. Lanyon when she bought this boat from R. Foster.
