A big group of sailors from the Royal Van Race Team attended the annual Pumkin Bowl in West Van.
The weather was fantastic, sunny both days with solid outflow winds in the mornings and westerlies in the afternoons.
There were over 200 sailors in total , making it the biggest event in the BC Circuit. Ken Cutting did a great job managing all the controlled chaos.
The Eric Stibbe CYA had a clinic for the Radial Team for the week prior and brought the girls over , so the Radial fleet with 40 entries was very high quality.
We had 13 sailors in Lasers and Radials and had good success in both fleets. Ben Scott was 3rd, Thomas Roehrl 4th and Matt Percy (just joined the team) was 8th.
In the Radials Luke Ramsay (normally in a Laser) was 2nd behind Olympic Sailor Lisa Ross, Joanna Moore was 3rd, Natalia Montemayor 5th, Cam Ho 6th, Becky Power 7th , Alex Kroitsch 9th, Gabe Frame 10th.

This was the final travel regatta of the season and ended on a high note , well done to the team!
