The 2018 Canadian Championship for the 2.4mR Class took place August 10th 12th at PCYC. Three days of racing filled with uncertainty about what the wind would do; forecasts of light wind, very light wind, or maybe even no wind... Finally Madeleine was able to get us racing for three days and seven races with short courses - a real accomplishment! She was fantastic - as was the was the quality of work of all of the race committee volunteers.
We really know how to run a good regatta at PCYC! The seventeen participants loved their weekend and want to come back next year. They came from as far away as Florida, Rhode Island, Connecticut and Maryland.
Thank you to Robin and Trevor who contributed to the success of the event. And thank you also to Richard Moore who was a big help on shore.

The BNI Challenge is a fundraising event for AQVA, sponsored by BNI Canada and organized by members of the Royal St-Lawrence Yacht Club in collaboration with members of other yacht clubs in the area. Funds raised from the event are donated to the AQVA for their program for sailors with disabilities.
The pursuit race for sailboats is a long-distance race for sailboats. You don't need to be an experienced racer to participate. Each boat that registers raises funds by having donations made in their boat's name. No entry fee is required. A page for donations will be created in your boat's name once you have registered. Your friends, family and colleagues can all make a donation in your boat's name. Tax receipts will be issued for all donations received.
That evening there is dinner and dancing at the Royal, as well as a silent auction.
The Notice of Race and registration form can be found here: https://aqva.org/montreal/bni-challenge
This is a really fun way to show your support for AQVA!
