REGATTAS Last year's Championships were all cancelled but planning has started for the 2021 season — assuming vaccinations are complete, virus spread is halted, and Public Health Orders are removed. From our US host club for the North American Championship: Hello sailors, Thank you for your response to my poll on our 2021 regatta. Very few of you wanted to skip for a second year and are hoping for a try this year. The EYC Board is assessing the situation on a regular basis and based on the current outlook for the summer, they have decided to slowly work towards an opening up of the EYC grounds towards the summer, subject state mandates. With that, our event schedule is compressed into a few months. The good news is that we have reserved the weekend of: August 7 & 8 for the 2021 edition of the "Live on the Edge" Multihull Regatta! We will monitor the state mandates and will only put the Regatta on if it will be safe for all who want to attend. I will let you know when ...

BRAUL WINS HIS 1ST CANADIAN CHAMPIONSHIP The big news is that we have a new champion, Richard Braul has captured the title for 2025!! It is his first Canadian Championship after several years of high placings he managed to end Don Snell's quest for 5 straight championships. Richard commented: " I  had to work for it, and Hamish got really frustrated watching my poor tactics for defending a lead, which is to just go fast.. ." We had nine SeaSprays sailing in this year's event with  great wind conditions that allowed 11 races of the 12 planned to be sailed over the three days.  We also had time to relax, visit and enjoy everyone's company.   The racing was close with a few positions separated by one point.   Standings are in order...  Richard Braul 1st, Don Snell 2nd, Mike Sonnie 3rd, Hamish Ferguson 4th, Kieran Mills 5th, Dave Mills 6th, Charles Hamel 7th (Classic Seaspray Winner), Darren Wagner 8th and Roger Bouchard 9th.  We owe a lot to our...
