JUNIOR SAILING UPDATE

Week 2 of Junior Sailing had a bit of everything: stormy weather, fast-paced racing, lessons, games and TWIN DAY (see photo below)!

The week ahead has our race team heading to Port Credit for the annual Steerers and Four Sisters regattas running from July 18-21. SLYC will be represented in the Optimist, Laser radial and 420 class across a team of 22 sailors.

WEEKEND RACING UPDATE

Last Sunday there was an excellent wind with boat handicap racing for the Viamede Cup. There were three races and Sailing Director Dave Anderson won the Cup in his ILCA Laser. Sy Walsworth was second in his Laser Radial. Doug Smith and Brenton Hauth placed third in their Flying Scott.

Next week is the Turner Cups @ 1pm on Saturday in Classes. Sunday is the Ken Slater Memorial race. The race schedule and sailing instructions are on the website under Weekend Racing. Boats are available at the Club.

Happy sailing!
