Fall Dinghy Championships

The fall dinghy championships was held at the Royal Victoria Yacht Club from September 27 to 28.
Many members of the race team had already left for the NQRs in Halifax, however a small team of sailors did get to go and race.
Saturday was a frustrating day for the sailors, after a couple of hours of postponement on the water the races were blown off for the day. Sunday we did manage to get in 6 races though, which was really great. There were varying conditions, earlier in the day the wind was a bit steadier and hiking conditions, with the winds easing out through the day to very light and shifty by the last races. We had a great showing for Royal Van, in the laser radial flee, Alberto Rengifo finished 2nd overall, Gabe Frame finished 4th overall with his best result to date. Jamie Bone was 5th overall, Alexander Shepard finished 7th and Alexander Kroitzsch finished 8th. In the laser full rig fleet one of our newest members of the race team, Cohen Penderson - Wood finnished 16th overall.
