Beautiful day today on the water.
Eleven yachts showed up to race in light air, hopefully filling in from the north.
Seven finished the course with Andre Wojcieszek’s RADICAL DEPARTURE taking both a line honours and corrected time victory over Dave Wilson’s MERLIN. For the rest of our club yachts, NUNNEHI came third, MOONSHADOW III was fourth, and GREY ERIK retired.

Transport Canada Minimum Safety Equipment Requirements
Here is a link to the Transport Canada website that deals with the small craft safety requirements.
A review of this site will provide members with the inspection criteria for our club “Safety Day”, and all other times you are enjoying your yacht on the water.
A condensed checklist will be available covering all of the sizes of yachts at our club. Pick one up on Safety Day – It would be a good idea to use this as you go through your inventory of these minimum safety requirements.
