With 25 boats on the line for CanAm 5, winter sailing was back with a vengeance in Port Charlotte. The US – Canada border reopened and our friends from North of the border showed up in force.
Can Am 4
The Can Am 4, a two day series started with light air, but then built over the 2 day series. After 6 races, Dee Smith emerged victorious followed by Bruce Millar and Allen Liebel. in a 22 boat fleet. This series was a perfect warmup for the next 3 days of sailing.
Can Am 5 (US Nationals)
This event started out with a howling 25 knot breeze. of the 25 entries 7 sailed the first day. The fleet showed up en-mass for days 2 and 3 of this event. There was a strong mix of Canadians, Americans, new fleet members and experienced sailors. In the end Canadian Bruce Millar won Can Am 5, followed by Jeff Linton and Allen Liebel bested the 25 entries.
Jeff Linton was crowned US National champion as the top finishing US boat in the fleet followed by Dee Smith and Tony Pocklington.
Can Am Series
These events rounded out the winter long Can Am Series. While the early part of the series was hampered by a lack of Canadian competitors, there was no lack of rivalry for the the podium. In the end Dee Smith won, followed by Tony Pocklington and Rudy Trejo.
A Newcomer’s Perspective
As always the 2.4 meter class, and the folks in Port Charlotte are always welcoming new sailors. Ric Dexter jumped off his J-105 and into a charter 2.4 meter. Here is what he had to say:
” Very competitive and high quality racing. Club, racers and race committee extremely welcoming, friendly and professional. Competitors were extra helpful to newbies, lots of tips and tricks shared making event fun for all.Fleet is well behaved making it very comfortable with tight quarter racing.My second year, big improvement every day for me personally.”

#BacktheBid Campaign to Reinstate Sailing in the Paralympics
Hi Sailors!
Some of you have asked how you can support the #BacktheBid campaign to reinstate sailing in the Paralympics.
I’m below is some info about the campaign (don’t worry about the embargo, the date has passed).
Also some links to World Sailing Facebook page with one featuring yours truly on Cadboro Bay.
It’s worth noting that our fleets here in North America grew out of disabled/inclusive/Paralympic sailing, an example of how inclusion works in all directions. Another reason to support our sport!
Thanks & share away
Jackie Gay
