Wednesday Race Night was very interesting with a Cat course format set by Steve and Instructor Annie to reflect the up and coming Catamaran Regatta that took place this past  Saturday at KSC. 10 boats took to the reaching start line to complete an upwind/downwind course with a reaching finish to the committee boat. The wind offered quite the challenge with large gusts forcing a few boats to practice their man-overboard maneuvers. Interestingly though the monohulls managed to figure out the course in the first race, leaving behind 4 Cats who found themselves disqualified for heading in the opposite direction. Jean caused a mutiny on board the Nacra 17, with her skipper Tony and forced him to be keelhauled off the port side pontoon. As he was being dragged along in the water by the mainsheet Jean realized she was to then to sail alone, so she relented and allowed Tony back on board. Race 1 clearly was a good practice run though as Frank and Nathan in a Hobie pulled off an impressive first place finish in race 2 and 3 followed by 3 Cats for the final race,  who all took the top 3 spots on the podium. Except we don’t have a podium but you get the gist. Good job everyone and a big thank you to Tom for bringing the food. Next weeks food will come courtesy of Lee.

8 Boats made it to the start line Wednesday evening with 14 Sailors on board. We had fair winds and a nice buoys to starboard course set by Steve and Annie. Wednesday saw three new Sailors introduced to race night. Liz sailed with Carla in the Tasar and Mark and Ellen flew around the course on their Hobie 16. Andy also joined Ken for his 2019 inaugural sail in the Albacore. Tony picked up some handy sail trim advice to pull out an exciting 3rd place finish in most of the races . He and Nathan were set for second place in Race #2, it it wasn’t for the fact that they were exceeding the Ottawa River speed limit so managed to slow their pace down to a crawl by hitting and dragging the up wind mark. Lucky for Carla and Liz as they pulled ahead and managed a 2nd place finish. As the winds died down on the last race Ken and Andy on port tack gave up their lead as they fouled Carla and Liz, sneaking up on starboard tack. After completing a 720 penalty turn they came a close second. All sailors enjoyed a delicious meal put on by Corinne and Leopol, with cold bevvies provided by Tony. Thanks to all who helped put on this event and to the sailors who gave the committee boat a fabulous show.
