ByFleet Captain 2026-10-092026-10-09

The 2026 J/24 North American Championship was held at Port Credit Yacht Club from September 30-October 4. With an ultimate goal of qualification for the October 2027 J/24 Worlds in Rochester NY, the regatta attracted many of the top veteran J/24 teams from across North America. Six boats from NSC took part out of a 24 boat fleet, far more than from any other club. NSC boat Mojito (aka Clear Air), owned and crewed by NSC’s Vince Somoza won the event.

A Truly FANtastic FAll Regatta
ByFleet Captain 2026-09-182026-09-18

FANFARE 2026, held on the weekend of September 12-13, lived up to its FANtastic name for another year. Beautiful dinghy racing weather, warm, sunny and with breezy, but varible winds, kept both the Race Officers and racers on their toes all weekend. This year FANFARE hosted the 505 Canadian Championships, which were won convincingly by NSC’s Christian Voyer and Luke Strickland. We also welcomed a large number of youth sailors in the Opti, ILCA and 420 class, where NSC sailors took the top 3 places. The Pig and Corn roast on Saturday evening was also excellent.
