The practice race was warm and sunny but the wet wild weather returned for the first day of racing where winds topped 35 knots on Monday, August 22nd.

Tuesday was the most gorgeous day ever with winds 10-15 knots and beautiful blue skies and the PRO, Colin Mann, managed to get in 4 good races.

Wednesday light breezes came in and built for the team race, held just off the yacht club deck, which was won by RCYC Team 1, followed by British Columbia's Team 1, and third was taken by RCYC Team 2.
