Commodore Derek Fisher would like to invite two person teams from the Toronto area sailing clubs to participate in a one-day regatta to be sailed in Ideal 18s in Toronto Bay. The club has a fleet of 12 Ideal 18s, and we hope that 11 teams from clubs in the surrounding area will participate. The RCYC will have one team. After the success of the first regatta in 2014, this is now Annual Event to encourage small boat racing at close quarters with multiple races in the shifty wind conditions that can exist in Toronto Bay.
Here is the schedule:
Thursday night:
Participate in the Thursday evening club race. 2-3 races, short course. Limited number of boat - reserve early.
Friday afternoon/evening:
Take a boat for a sail. Participate in the TGIF barbeque.
