2026-07-23 July Thursday Series #3

  The evening started  with light winds that got lighter, how nobody was sure. A couple and their son showed an interest in what we were doing. Boats and lessons were given, along with an unofficial race postponement.

  Sullivan’s Pond Swirly Monster was in fine forum. I think our monster had some competition fron the sea and land breeze. Three boats pointed in the same direction but on completely different tacks and points of sail. Water so smooth you could use it as a mirror to shave. One rescue was preformed close to shore. There was a fear that this boat and skipper might still be there come the Sunday race time. An intervention had to be performed.

  One comment was made that all competitions agreed with. “We had more fun than if we were sitting at home watching the tube”. 

 Hope to see everyone Sunday afternoon.

N.B 

 As boats were packed up, the sea breeze asserted itself. 

Sunday July 17-22 Lunenburg Yacht Club

75th Anniversary Invitational RC Sailing Regatta

We participated in this event on a course laid out in front of the LYC alongside the members of the Martin’s River Sailing Club. On our course we sailed our Soling 1m’s while a mixed group took part on the inner course. While not everyone was able to make the trip, we had a great turnout.
The wind cooperated with a stiff breeze that broke some rigging and at least one mast, along with a nice chop we don’t see sailing on Sullivan’s Pond. Luckily the LYC had a crash boat on hand with Commodore Andreas Josenhans at the controls. Andreas is a former Canadian Olympian in the Soling class in 1976, a two time world champion the in the Soling class and a member of several America’s Cup campaigns.

There were lot’s of spectators and a good time was had by all, hopefully we will have a chance to sail at LYC again in the future.
