Spring Dingys 2009

The team traveled over to the Island on either Friday evening or Saturday morning.

2 29'er teams, 9 Lasers, 11 Radials and 11 Optimists, a total of 35 sailors and 3 coaches with assorted parents helping with trailers and logistics in general.

The regatta saw strong winds and 4 races on the Saturday and lighter breeze with sun on the Sunday.

Kevin Greirson sailed well in the Lsers and sucured his Canada games spot. Andy Wong gave him a run for the money.

In the radial Alex Heinzman , who just got back in the class to tune up for the youth Worlds in July, won with Isabella Bertold 2nd, also going to the Youth Worlds.
She secured a spot for the Canada Games as well.

They fought hard all weekend and had huge leads.
Natalia Montmeyer ended as the alternate for the Canada Games and have improved greatly!

In the 29'er class Mark Patacky and Jonn Scott won the event and sucured their Canada Games berth. They seemed to improve each race , getting the rust off from being away from the boat for a while.

In the Optimist Laura Konitzer won the event with Alex Fritz 2nd ,Emily Dale-Johnson 3rd and Cameron Ho , very dominant! Well done!

All in all a successful weekend for the team.
