The season opening Victoria Day Weekend Regatta was held on May 21-23 at the Belwood Lake Sailing Club near Fergus. The weather was fabulous: warm and sunny along with some decent winds! We did get a bit of rain, but it came in the middle of the night.
We always schedule a later start on Saturday. This gives everyone a chance to take a bit of time remembering how to sort out their rigging after digging their boat out of winter storage. It also gave Steve a chance to mount the engine on Charger and refill her with all her gear from the back of his car!

Many thanks to Jim Carroll, his daughter Emma and her boyfriend Ian, and Paul Lingen for volunteering as our race committee. They had so much fun doing it last year they wanted another chance! And of course, many thanks the Belwood Lake Sailing Club for hosting such a great day of sailing!
