FANFARE The Nepean Sailing Club is hosting the FANFARE regatta September 11th and 12th. This event will be used for the Ontario Fireball Championships. Please put the event on your agenda. COACHING We have arranged for Andrew Davies to provide coaching prior to and during our Screwball/Canadian Nationals Championship Regatta. This should prove to be an excellent opportunity to improve our game, identify areas that need work, and bring us to a more internationally competitive standard. The format is being developed, but will include a session on Thursday on the water as well as personalized feedback on whatever happens on the race course on Friday and Saturday. We are very excited about having the chance to improve our boat speed, and to help each of us strategically and tactically. SCREWBALL/CANADIAN NATIONALS Preliminary indications are that we will have an excellent level of turnout for this event. Nova Scotia, Ontario, Alberta and Quebec sailors have already confirmed their participation, and we would love to see as many Fireballs as possible. In order to plan for our dining needs on Saturday night, we would like to have an indication of who is planning to attend. Please reply as soon as possible to

. The racing should be excellent, the company fabulous, the entertainment without peer, and the weather entirely unpredictable. Your presence will make this event even better still. HPDO REGATTA The American Yacht Club will be hosting the HPDO Regatta in Rye, New York on October 9th and 10th. For the first time ever, there will be a separate Fireball start. We have 7 Fireballs registered so far, and we have not yet heard from the NY local fleet. There is a deadline for early registration, and those looking for billeting should put in their requests as quickly as possible. This will be the final regatta of the season for the eastern part of North America. |

Five boats turned up at Britannia Yacht Club for the 53rd National Capital Regatta. Jessica and Megan (two of Jeremy's friends) made the trip from Toronto to sail Rainmaker and it was great to see them out. Jeremy and Elizabeth also made it onto the water for the first time this year. Saturday's forecast was for 8 - 11 knots - according to Sailflow, Wind Guru and Wind Finder.....but for 18 - 25 kms/hour according to Accuweather (which apparently is 9 to 13 knots according to my handy dandy metric converter!). Accuweather proved to be accurate as we had flat water and 12 to 15 knots out of the south. The courses were well set and there were some face splitting grins on some of the three sail reachs! |
