 Don Snell's success as Canadian National Champion has reached 9 titles, one title short of 10 time winner Dave West (results since 1969 only) Seven Seaspray sailors attended the Canadian Nationals.  It was a light wind regatta with 8 races total.  The best winds happened on Sunday, the final day.   The post covid regatta was a treat and enjoyed by all.  Altogether 58 boats competed in the Prairie Wind. Regatta and besides being the Seaspray Canadian Nationals this was also the Fireball Canadian Nationals with around 10 Fireballs.   The next event will be the Catamaran Clinic to be held at Newell Sailing Club July 28, 29 and 30th.  Plan to attend if you can.  This event is open to all types of catamarans. https://sites.google.com/view/ albertacatamaransailor/home albertabeachcatamaransailor@ gmail.com     We still haven't decided on a September event on the weekend following the Labour Day long weekend.   TRAILERS ...

NEW SAILS Leitch and McBride produced a halyard set of laminate sails over the winter/spring for me and they look pretty good.  ...

NO OSOYOOS REGATTA PLANNED FOR THIS YEAR Keith Hesje has emailed to say it appears there will NOT be a regatta at Lake Osoyoos Sailing Club this year. While the club is still active, there does not seem to be enough manpower/interest within the membership to host an event this season. Sorry ladies, no wine tasting tour while the guys race this year.
