Sarnia Regatta - Great Lakes Champs (Aug 4/5)

[Darren Gilbert]

Hey everyone, I know this is kind of late getting posted, but there is a fun regatta coming up in Sarnia, August 4/5.

Hope to see some of you there.

288 Oshunmare will be there!

Brian Johansen (Northern Honey Badger) and the Boston family are planning a great regatta for us in Sarnia Aug 4-5.
This will also be our Great Lakes Championship.
This event also counts towards the Great Lakes Summer Series trophy!

Some of you didn't make it to the NA's in Kingston - what you missed was  - in Button's words - "epic".
Best OD sailing I've had the privilege to participate in. So - you couldn't make it... time to saddle up and plan to head to Sarnia.

We would love to see all of you travel to this amazing event. The BBQ is always great, and sailing out of Sarnia is wonderful.
If you haven't travelled this year to a Great Lakes event, this is the one to head for.
Hopefully we can get all of the Hamilton, Detroit and Wisconsin boats to come.

It'll be a great event.

Please help the organisers plan by registering now:

Congratulations to Jackpot, Oshumare, and The Badger for the 1, 2, 3!

Thank you to Brian Johansen for hosting us all and to the Boston/Jackson family for running race committee (Kelly you were a great PRO!).

Derek Jackson also has come fantastic shots to be posted at a later date.

I'm already looking forward to next year at SYC.  I wish we could sail 2 regattas a year here!
