In the late twenties the Club was given more trophies. The Pye Gold Cup was given by W G Pye in 1926 for the winner of the most races at the Club during the year; this no doubt to encourage a flagging racing turnout. The Granta Cup originally a rowing trophy from the Lynn regatta was given into the custody of the Club by the University Boat Club in 1922 as an open sailing trophy for all the Ouse Rivers clubs. The Leaf Cup was presented in 1925 by Charles Leaf, who was to play an important part in the Club during the next decade. The Goodman Cup which was a wartime military trophy was given in 1926 by Capt. G.G. Goodman a club member. In 1929 Mrs Whitehead gave a handsome trophy in memory of her husband J.E.L. Whitehead who died in office in 1923 after only one year as Commodore. The names of all deceased Commodores are engraved on the trophy. With all this new silverware the Club was clearly well placed for a sailing revival in the next decade.

The Grounds
After the war the Club grounds had somewhat fallen into disrepair and great efforts were made to restore them. Flower beds were replanted and repairs made.

The ladies of the Club clearly felt that they had no home since the main Open Pavilion had no proper facilities, and in 1921 a new Ladies’ Pavilion was built roughly on the site of the present Clubhouse. This was a substantial structure built on high piers so that boats could be stored underneath in the winter. A flight of steps led to the upstairs room where the ladies could not only withdraw but prepare teas and suppers for the many fund-raising summer events. A honky-tonk piano was installed. Across two corners of the room were curtains where females could modestly change their attire. Inevitably the steep flight of steps presented difficulties when alfresco meals had to be carried down for large parties, and the area for storing boats turned out to be not such a good idea either. In due course the pavilion was lowered to the ground. The total cost of the new building was £75 which was largely paid for by fund raising by the ladies. In 1924 it was proposed to convert the pavilion into a store! This was rejected and a set of Rules for using the Pavilion was drafted.
