Alastair Ryder-Turner and wife, Sharon, win Peterborough SC's 2024 Wayfarer Heist Regatta
2024.08.31  Peterborough Sailing Club attracted eight Wayfarers to the Wayfarer Heist Regatta last weekend, August 24-25. Alastair Ryder-Turner and wife, Sharon, of Springwater, Ontario dominated the eight-boat fleet in the five-race event, scoring 5 points from a 2-1-1-(3)-1 record. Defending champions, Mike and Lee Codd of TS&CC could do no better than series 3rd after losing a second-place tie-breaker to Rob Wierdsma and daughter, Sam, of the host club. Most Improved honours were earned by 8th-seeded John Koetsier of Mississauga SC who took advantage of having Ottawa's super-crew, Frank Goulay and W648 KGB, to grab series 4th. Well done, all. Complete results, album of Anne Pugh's photos here. More report soon.

In the end, it was Oriental's Richard Johnson and wife, Michele, who came from behind and edged out Uwe Heine and wife Nancy by a single point when Rchard placed 2nd in the finale while Uwe managed only a 4th. Top seeded AnnMarie Covington with Shaun Rankin-Byrne won the finale but full three points short of top spot.  report and pics here
