4 Sisters Regatta Port Credit

Port CreditYacht Club, 4 Sisters Regatta

July 17-18, 2010

This past weekend the whole KYC race team travelled up to Port Credit for the 4 Sisters regatta. The two day event had over 100 competitors, and KYC had an amazing showing!!

The first day the athletes experienced crazy weather. It started as a clear day, but then as it continued storm systems began moving through. We experienced hail, fog and thunder. However even with the weather the 29ers and lasers managed to finish one race. In the 29er Fred Scott and Aidan Ross finished with a fifth. On the laser course Ryan Sousa also had a fifth, and Richard Millison had a 13th. Unfortunately more bad weather forced the Race Committee to abandon the 420 race.

The second day had clear skies and a decent breeze. Every fleet got 4 races in before the end of the day. While some had a tough start in the light wind others found their groove early, and everyone finished the day on a positive note, and smiles on their face. In the 420 fleetBerg Ellemers and Ali tenHove finished 4th overall with a 2nd in their last race. Close behind was Ross Murdoch and James Hickey in 8th, with an exciting in in the last race. Emma MacRae and Maddy Ross had a tough start but ended the day with a 15h to put them in 29th overall. Duncan Cruickshanks and Rosalyn Dunkley had a great learning experience and a lot of fun and finished in 40th. In the 29er fleet Fred Scott and Aidan Ross were excited to race against other boats. They finished 6th overall and are looking to move up in the fleet as the season goes on. In the laser radial Ryan had an amazing regatta with two 5ths in the five races, and finished 10th overall. Richard Millison was not far behind in 19th with a third as his bestfinish.

Congratulations to the entire team for their amazing performances this past weekend at the 4 Sisters Regatta, in Port Credit!
