Sail & Canvas Weekend Racing - June 2013

To advertise the weekend events one could find sails hanging all around town. Most of the sails are old sails from C&C 24' Shark's. The sails are from the collection of  Dave MacLaren....Dave now owns 3 Shark's and they all are for sale if one is interested.
 Sail & Canvas Regatta
Bayfield, Ont.

This past spring I participated in the Sail & Canvas race weekend held in Bayfield. Unfortunately due to the late launching of the fleet, the turnout for the race was poor. Actually out of the 7 boats participating in the races three where boats docked at GBYC in Grand Bend last season. A fourth was an ex-GBYC member. A good GBYC turnout. Three races where held on Saturday. Sunday was rained out. For once I had a good size crew. Five of us in all. My son in law Devin, Brad and my daughter's in laws Murray and Nancy who came all the way from California to sail with us......well truth be known they are also visiting family for a couple of months. There was a nice BBQ on Saturday night at Dave MacLaren's home. A fun time all in all...George

Our crew from right to left is Brad, Murray, Nancy and I. Devin is the photographer for this event.
GBYC boat Nautilus is seen near the start of the first race. I believe the boat in the background is Summer Heat another ex-GBYC sailboat.
Most of our crew for some reason is hanging around the bar at the BBQ. Brugal was the rum of choice for this event. Nancy took this photo of the boys.
