The Pumpkin regatta took place October 17-18th at West Van YC.
A real fall regatta with heavy rain, wind and even some sun shine. Over 200 sailors came from across BC, Alberta and Washington to participate. The most amazing fleet was the Opti fleet with over 70 racers competing!
It was quite a sight seeing all of them leave the docks!
Royal Van faired really well in the regatta.
In the light green fleet (first regatta ever) there were 24 racers. Tara Yuen won the whole fleet, followed by Nicholas Donaldson in 3rd, Max Cameron in 8th and Jamie Bennett in 12th.
This fleet sailed different reaching courses and had a great time. In the dark green fleet, Katrina McCallum was 2nd,Mikaela Frame was 10th, Dim Dimitrov 13th and Julia Ho 23rd. It was so much fun seeing these sailors race to the far away windward mark in the wind and the rain.
In the championship fleet, Alex Fritz won the entire event just like last year. In second was Lloyd Lyall who won the blue fleet. In second in the blue fleet was Andrew Moreno. Third in red was Graham Harney followed by Ellie Shaw in 7th, Jake Cullen in 8th and Hailey Linton in 9th. In the blue fleet was Eric Lyall 4th and Jim Donaldson 7th. In the white fleet ( 10 and under), Henrik Moberg-Parker was 3rd followed closely by Michael Mastracci in 5th and Dylan Cochran in 6th.
In the 420 class, Royal Van did great with Joren Jackson/Leif Pederson finishing second, Emma Toone/Alana Tacy in 3rd and Kia Meiklejohn/Elizabeth Hardy in 5th.
In the 29’er class, Sam Gustin with crew Ian Woodbury were 2nd.
In the Laser full rig class, Chris Tulip was 5th, Thomas Roehrl 6th, Sebastian Fritz 8th and John Tulip 12th.
The Radial class was big with 31 racers. Natalia Montemayor was 4th, Cameron Ho 5th, Joanna Moore 8th and Tony Henderson 11th.
A lot of fun and a great event for all our sailors.
