Mark your calendars! On July 20 and 21, 2019, the Falcon Yacht
Club is hosting the District 4 Laser Championships/Summer of Sailing
Regatta. This will be our biggest racing
weekend of the season and a great reason for a Saturday evening BBQ. Club members are encouraged to race or
volunteer for the weekend.
Laser International divides North American
into 25 Districts (6 in Canada).
District 4 includes Manitoba and Northwestern Ontario (including Thunder
Bay). For the “seasoned” Masters sailors
in our club who are feeling extra adventurous this year, the District 4
Championships will be an excellent warm-up for the Laser Masters Canadian
Championships, which the RLWYC is hosting this year in August.
Online registration for the District 4
Championships is now online at: Sailcanada.checklick/Manitoba.
For the District 4’s, only those with an International
Laser Class Association (ILCA) membership will be scored in the District 4 Championships.
(An ILCA membership is also required for the Masters and is available online
at: www.laser.org).
For sailors born between 2003 and 2010, the
District 4’s/Summer of Sailing Regatta is also the qualifiers for the South
Region for the 2020 Manitoba Games. If
you know a sailor who might be interested, please visit the Sail Manitoba 2020
Manitoba Games site at: sailmanitoba.com/2020-manitoba-games.
We are also looking for a few more
volunteers. If you are not planning to
race, but would still like to be a part of the event, many hands make for light
work! If you are interested in
volunteering, please email Charles (on the water) or Liz (on land).
