SinC Inbox: SeaSpray is now in

Feb 2, 2022

Just wanted to be included in the sailboat classes of Canada.

Our class is the Sea Spray Class, a 15’ catamaran. We are still an active class mostly in Western Canada and the Western US.

Our very informative website is

canadianseaspray.com

We still have regular regattas and although the boats are not in production there are numerous used boats available for upgrade to competitive race boat status and safe recreational use.

The SeaSpray is an excellent one person catamaran with numerous advantages over other catamaran classes. It is a forgiving, beginner trainer catamaran that has appeal to male, female, young to old. Sailed out of a couple of clubs of note, Newell Sailing Club www.newellsailingclub.com on Lake Newell in SE Alberta and Osoyoos Sailing Club on Osoyoos Lake, Osoyoos, BC. sailosoyoos.ca

If you need more information, let me know.

Thanks

Don Snell

Ed note: we have now added SeaSpray to the O/D Class List.

The Rules Guy: Penalties – When and How to Take Them

This discussion is based on a situation that took place at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics (held in the summer of 2021) and some local youth regattas. When I first started to race, if you broke a rule, your only option was to drop out (or be protested out) of the race. This was a severe penalty for a simple incident.

Keven Talks Sails: Preparing for Bad Weather – Part 2

Most sailors just don’t have practice sailing in really windy conditions. Club racers don’t go out if it is more than 25 knots (nor will the race committee). When doing a long-distance cruise or race, you don’t have much option if a squall runs at you.
