Regatta – Falcon Sailing Club

2026 Commodore’s Cup

Beautiful day and excellent turn out for Commodore’s Cup. 15 boats racing. The wind was light from the south. The weather held out for a delightful BBQ on the upper deck.

All Club Lasers and 420s were in use in a fleet that included a Tasar, a scow, ten Lasers and three 420’s. The race committe –, Commodore Jan, David and Judie — did an excellent job running five races. Scoring was based on the best four results for each skipper.

Commodore’s Cup 2025

The afternoon started out sunny and windy from the west. The wind and gusts built up from the WSW, making for challenging and exciting sailing.

Three guests joined us from Sturgeon River in Lasers to add to the overall competition. Based on the rules governing Commodore’s Cup, the guests were not eligible to be counted in that race, but were welcome to join us in the racing.

Four Falcon Laser sailors rigged up and sailed out to check the conditions, but chose not to start in the first race. A mixed fleet of four Falcon boats competed for the Cup.

Jan and Deb were able to run three races, even though the committee boat would not stay put under anchor.

The evening provided a clear and dry moment for a great potluck BBQ on the upper deck.

These results are slightly different than those sent around in Sharlene’s email; on review with a proper computer screen, one time was corrected to match the race committee notes, and the 29er Portsmith handicap was applied.

Here’s Commodore Sharlene’s summation of the results:

While Dave Baker finished first, he recognizes that as a non club member he is not eligible to win the cup. So, Charles and Maureen are the winners! Followed by Matt, then Roger. Craig‘s OCS start cost him his chance to defend his title from last year.

First Keel Boat Race of 2020

Saturday June 27th we had a lively wind gusting up to 15 knots from the South West (mostly!). Five keel boats were on the start line for the first race, plus a few dinghies out to practice. Unfortunately, Dave’s tiller broke when he was doing well in the first race, so he had to retire without finishing. The rest of the fleet had a good time rounding the marks as quickly as possible:
