Fanshawe Yacht Club & Sailing School

That’s a wrap for the FYC Club Championship! ⛵️

Saturday brought fantastic winds, great racing, and some very close competition followed by a lovely corn roast dinner with the club!

Unfortunately Sunday had to be abandoned due to light winds and rain.

A huge THANK YOU to all the volunteers who helped make both the racing and dinner happen. We couldn’t do it without you! 💙

🏆 Champions of Champions: Stay tuned! The race will be scheduled for a later date pending the weather (potential dates are either Wednesday, Thursday, or Sunday)

Thanks to everyone who came out and made it such a great weekend! ⛵🌽

Everybody now, sing it out one more time…

🎶Starboard over port, leeward over windward, seeking out the streamers, all aboard our sheet heavers!!🎶

A huge THANK YOU to all of our incredible volunteers and race crew who helped make the Y-Flyer Internationals run smoothly!

From setting up and organizing to keeping the races running on the water, these events wouldn’t be possible without the time, effort, and dedication of our volunteers.

We appreciate you! 💙

Day 2 of Y-Flyer Canadian Nationals

Congrats to Colin & Marla for taking 🥇
and Richard & Andrew for securing 🥈

Love to see FYC representation on the podium!
Next up, Y-Flyer Internationals!

Sending big cheers to Richard and Andrew, and Colin and Marla who are at the Sudbury Yacht Club for the Y-Flyer Canadian Nationals! ⛵🇨🇦

Day 1 weather was a little crazy with the first race abandoned due to lightning ⚡ and afternoon racing called off due to strong gusts 💨

Hopefully Day 2 brings some better weather! FYC is rooting for you guys! Good luck!💙

Wednesday night Informal Racing is Cancelled this week due to Poor Air Quality.
