Disabled World Championship 2018 – Sheboygan Wisconsin – Sept 16 – 22, 2018

As you may or may not know the 2018 Disabled World Championships are coming to the USA.

This regatta will be one of the last chances for World Sailing (WS) to showcase sailing to the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) before it is decided on re-instatement to the Paralympic Games in 2024. The regatta is going to be held on the waters of Lake Michigan in the city of Sheboygan WI. This would be a great opportunity for disabled sailors in Canada to come together and present a strong showing for team Canada and will also provide an opportunity for all abilities to get some valuable experience.

This announcement by WS is a little late but now that we have it we should work together to make plans for all of us to attend and we need to gather support from Sail Canada, Provincial Sailing Associations, Yacht Clubs, Coaches, Support personal and other supporters. I have now put this event on my calendar and hope you will as well. Lets band together and show how Canada has a strong and skilled disabled sailing community. This is also one of the few times when everyone can drive to the event location in a reasonable time.

The decision from IPC about re-instatement for the games in 2024 s supposed to take place in January 2019.

Go Canada!

2.4mR Open North Americans 2017 Pointe Claire, Canada

by Dee Smiith

In early August, Joc, Sully and I headed out of dodge on a road trip to an area we have never been to before.   With a little extra time on our hands, we were able to take our time to drive North through the beautiful States of PA and NY.  It was a good time to get out of the Annapolis heat and go sail the little boat again, against some very good competition in Canada for the first time.

2.4mR North American Championship 2017 at PCYC Report

by Alain Dubuc

For a second year in a row, the Pointe Claire Yacht Club was pleased to hold the 2.4mR North American Championships which took place on August 11, 12 and 13.

We had planned for three days of racing, three rather than two in the hopes of getting at least one good day of sailing, which we ended up having. No wind on Friday, no wind on Saturday, a lot of getting in and out of the water, and finally, we got some nice wind on Sunday to the great relief of your humble servant and 22 attendees.

The committee boat was led by the great Madeleine Palfreeman, certified race officer, assisted by a team of experienced volunteers from the Yacht Club.

On Sunday morning, between 10 am and 2 pm, Madeleine was able to conduct a series of 4 races in winds going from low to medium.

To nobody’s great surprise, paralympian Dee Smith won it all, followed closely by Darrell Suderman and Allan Leibel, three excellent sailors. Finally, I hope that everyone was satisfied with the way things played out. The next time we meet will be at the Canadian Championships in Toronto mid-September. The fleet will then head down to Florida for a long winter series called CanAm.

The 2.4 fleet is doing very well and is in full growth all across North America. In August 2018, I hope to be able to organize this event again, on the same date. Probably the Canadian championships. Save the date!

Thank you and see you soon.

Sadly, all PCYC results have been discarded prior to 2020.
