Sullivan’s Pond is ice free! again, and likely to remain so now. The thankless task of setting the buoys can now get underway when the thankless task crew gets around to it.
Ben checked out the Cranberry Pond and sent some pictures, complete with on-site model.
After two full days of sailing in variable conditions Bob Boutilier of Bedford, NS became the Soling 1M Canadian Champion for 2019. Gary Bugden was just two points behind in second and Janice Anderson was third.

The wonderful folks at Terra Beatta have expanded the pond and have extended their hospitality for another season of model sailing for the Halifax Area Model Yacht Club.
Ben and Victor have the docks installed and the pond is set for racing. The cranberry pond makes a great location for sailing and the first regatta scheduled for the site is the Bill Traill Regatta on June 9, 2019.
Victor has sent along some pictures that show most of the expanded pond, but could not capture the whole size!
