Report from the 2.4 mR Great Lakes Championship

Peter Eagar, August 2023

Another terrific weekend of sailing here in Toronto at the 2.4mR Great Lakes Championship Regatta.

Winds were light and shifty, and current was strong, making for some fun and tricky races.

In all we had 9 boats and we managed to complete 6 races.

Congratulations to Darrell Suderman 1st. Place, Allan Leibel 2nd. Place, and then me in 3rd. Place.  After the drop race Allan and I were tied with 11 points each. Allan had won 2 races and I won 1, so he beat me on the tie breaker.


Thanks very much to our terrific Race Committee and wonderful volunteers!
