Toronto East Coast Regatta Report

The regatta at Toronto 23-26 Jan was a great success.  13 boats sailed including young guns and old salts with boats from Lake Macquarie, Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane.  10 short races over 4 days in typical lake sailing conditions but the light winds and short courses combined to keep the fleet quite close together and made for great racing.  There was plenty of interest in the boat park and up to 5 spectator boats following the racing.  We had some pretty good sailors like Chris Nicholson and Tom Slingsby buzzing around in their foiling moths and checking up on the 505s.  Big thanks to Robbo for organising the regatta and hassling people to get their boats wet.  Thanks to Tom from Brisbane for helping on the start boat.

Young guns Ryan Menzies/Joel Castle won from old salts Earle Alexander/Ian Gregg and Scott Ovenden/Morgs, detailed results click here.
