With all of the amazing weather that September has had to offer Vancouver, the race team has had some really excellent training in the past couple weeks. We are really pleased to welcome back Tamara, the race teams fitness trainer. She has started to work with the group on Saturday mornings before training. She was working with the team last spring, and we are really happy that she will continue to work with us through the winter.
There are a couple fast approaching events which the race team is planning on attending, the National Qualifying Regatta, which will be held from October 3-5 in St. Margarets Bay, Nova Scotia. The team has been putting in a lot of time to be at top form for this very important event. This event will be the qualification for the new senior and youth national team. It will also be the qualification for the 2009 Youth World Championships.
Those sailors who are not going to Nova Scotia will be heading over to Victoria for the Fall Dinghy Championships, which will be held from September 27-28. The regatta is hosted out of Royal Victoria Yacht Club, sailed in Cadboro Bay which always poses some very tricky conditions so it should be a great event to sail!
Don't forget to check back for results and pictures from the upcoming events!
