November 30, 2022

2022 Canadian Sailing Team member John McRoberts, (Victoria – RvicYC) and Scott Lutes took the 4th place overall on 26 sailors in the para fleet of the RS Venture Connect World Championships held last week in Oman.

“The Finale day was held with the top 6 boats in the Para division racing off for the medals.”

“Format, races held until a boat wins two races. It took two races for POL to win two. CAN fought hard and had a chance at a medal falling just short with a fourth overall. We moved up two spots from 6 where we ended in the round robin. Winner take all finals are unique and a different type of game lots of fun.”
