Falcon Yacht Club hosted the Falcon Cup on Sunday, September 10th. This regatta was also the Provincial Master Championships and the Provincial Optimist Championships. What a perfect day for racing. The participants enjoyed the great weather with sunshine and a nice breeze. A total of five races were run and the Race Committee finished just in time before the breeze really picked up. Thanks to Wendy and Michael Sauer, who helped running the races and supplied their beautiful Zodiac as Race Committee Boat. Very much appreciated!
Congratulations to Linus Schweizer from the Winnipeg SC in the Radial for winning the Falcon Cup, followed by Lauren Burns from Black Sturgeon SC sailing a Laser 4.7 and Andrew Murtomaki with Crew Audrey and Bill from Gimli YC sailing his Viper.
