Osoyoos Regatta 2022

SinC Seaspray Osoyoos Regatta 2022

November 2, 2022

After a two year break the Osoyoos club re-introduced their late summer Seaspray regatta. The weather was near perfect with a variety of wind conditions and 13 races overall. I trusted that my boat and trailer would stand the test of travel and sailing as I had packed the bare minimum of spare parts and slightly underinflated tires (corrected later) for the trip out and back there were no problems or mishaps. The Osoyoos club were great hosts as usual, providing us with bag lunches every day, pizza supper on Saturday and breakfast coffee and muffins.  

Thanks to all the club members who helped host this event and special thanks to John Cowan and Howard Carney for their efforts.

Interesting Classes: Gold Cup of the Nordic Folkboats Highlight Kiel Week

Many Canadian classes, like Sharks, Bluenose, 8Ms and even Stars and Lightnings, have their roots way back. Some early classes started as wood boats (Thunderbirds for eg) and subsequently switched to glass. Folkboats made their way to Canada, but according to this news release, the class is very much alive and well in Europe.
