click here  Much anticipated wild Sunday finish to 2021 Ontarios calmed/rained out - Team Chich comes out on top  (2021.10.09)
The Saturday (Oct. 2nd) of this year's
Wayfarer Ontarios hosted on Humber Bay
by the Toronto Sailing & Canoe Club,
was a classic case of "It was too good
to last". Perfect sailing weather
prevailed as a well-matched 11-boat
fleet battled it out in four light- to
medium-air races. At the end of the day,
much of the fleet was still in with a
realistic hope of victory. Everyone was
eagerly anticipating race 5 which would
allow the "drop" to kick in. But it was
not to be. The forecast was half right:
the day of scattered showers did arrive
but the 5 knots of wind did not. Sadly,
further racing had to be cancelled.
Complete results, all photos
and my report now posted.
