2.4 Metre Class Canadian Championship
National Yacht Club hosted a fleet 
of 22 boats on September 19/20/21 for the 2.4 Metre Class Canadian Championship. Competitors from as far away as Florida and British Columbia were impressed by the friendliness and facilities of NYC and promised to be back again. The winner was Jeff Linton of Tampa, Florida, followed by NYC’s Darrell Suderman. Third was Bruce Millar, a member of NYC and Royal Victoria Yacht Club in B.C. Sailing conditions were ideal, including Saturday’s 25-knot easterly with ocean-like waves.
The Race Committee was flawless and with the help of MarkSetBots had perfect starting lines and course alignment, with all 8 races starting on schedule.
This event was the final of a four-regatta 2.4mR summer series at NYC, known as the CAN-AM series — a winter version of which is held in Port Charlotte, Florida. The series was spearheaded by NYC’s Darrell Suderman who, with John Kitchener and Heather Aitken, have made NYC a cornerstone of 2.4 Metre Class sailing in North America.
Next stop for several NYC sailors is the 2.4 Metre Class World Championship in Lake Garda, Italy, in October.

Report
A very competitive 12 boat fleet of 2.4 Metres competed in the first of four CANAM Series events on the June 14/15 weekend at National Yacht Club.
Boats from as far away as Florida and British Columbia saw two perfect days of racing in moderate easterly breezes.
Principle Race Officer John Kitchener and his hard-working Race Committee team set excellent starting lines and courses in the shifting winds.
Special thanks to all the volunteers and particularly to Darrell Suderman, Heather Aitken, and Trish Doyle for spear-heading the on and off-water activities.
First place went to Bruce Millar of Victoria,B.C., with NYC’s Allan Leibel and Darrell Suderman taking 2nd and 3rd respectively.
