Not to be outdone by the little boats, NSC+BYC had 45 boats on the one-design course and 34 on the JAM course this past Thursday = 79 total. That’s more than 200 people, 130 tons of fibreglass and steel, and half a football field of sails. It must be July!
41 boats on the NSC course, 14 laser/sailboard on the BYC course! This past Wednesday saw the largest turnout in a long while. Good wind and a fine effort on a busy night by the bosuns/volunteer race committee. Don’t forget there’s social/fun for little boats at Sunday Fundays, including borrow-a-dinghy for any qualified club member.
