Sudbury Yacht Club

This year we had nine competitors in the Laser fleet which was won convincingly by Bradley Sheppard.

Five Y Flyers fought a close battle with Robert Montgomery edging out Pierre Dignard for the win.

Nine races were sailed in the usual challenging conditions on Ramsey Lake.

Thanks go out to the Y fleet for organising the event and to all the people who assisted.

Full results are posted under the Racing tab.

Our Harbourmaster, Geoff Sykes, has revised the guidelines for mooring boats at the club. Please read this important document which can be found under the "more" tab.

Robert Montgomery and daughter Samantha were the top Sudbury crew in the Y Flyer Provincials held at the club on September 17 and 18. Conditions were challenging, as usual on Ramsey lake, ranging from very light to brisk breeze.

See the Racing tab for detailed results.

21 boats turned out for another fun Turner Challenger Cup race on September 5th.. Sebastian Dasys, sailing his Hobie Getaway won overall. Congratulations Sebastian. The first boat across the finish line, second overall on handicap, was Alain Landry in his Hobie 18. Conditions started out in a nice breeze which steadily increased to about 30 k.p.h. making for some serious hiking out on the return from Berry Island. The competitors enjoyed a challenging race with welcome beer afterward to cool off on a hot afternoon..
