The turnout was a great for the CYC Turkey Bowl Regatta on November 18-19. The regatta drew 103 competitors across 10 classes. CYC set two separate race areas to spread out boats and expedite starts. The ILCA 4.7s and 6s were on the South Course along woth Opti’s, FJs and 420s. The ILCA 7s and RS AEROs were on the North Course along with the Star and J70 classes. We were pleased to have participants from Vancouver BC to Portland/Vancouver and “all ports” in between.
Included among the participants were 11 RS Aeros, 10 ILCA 7s, 18 ILCA 6s and 6 4.7s.
Light and spotty wind on Saturday morning prompted a few postponements but a steady southerly breeze did come in time to get two races completed before calling it a day. Sunday started with a few races in a southerly, which died then came back in from the north and continued to swing to the east, at 5-10 mph on both courses. At the completion of the regatta the 4.7s finished 4 races and the 6s finished 5. The ILCA 7s and RS Aeros finished 7 races in total.
To everyone’s delight CYC resurrected a long past tradition of providing a Turkey Thanksgiving feast on Saturday night. A great idea which was prompted by CYC Youth Program Director and Regatta Chair Jack Killalea, and was made possible by Alison Pease who prepared turkey, gravy, stuffing, potatoes, corn, apple sauce and Rice Krispy Treats. Thank you Alison!!
