Growth of Class
 The Wayfarer Class continues to grow, and since our February issue (missing from George’s files???) went into print, there have been several new owners.  A hearty “Welcome Aboard” is extended to the following Skippers: -

  Dr D.A. Nichol   London, Ont.
  Mr F.A. Huckabone  Pembroke, Ont.
  Mr G.H. McCallum  Hamilton, Ont.
  Mr Ian C. McMillar  North Bay, Ont.

  Mr John F. Gladwell  Pullman, Wash.
  Mr Richard Johnson  Royal Oak, Mich.
  Mr John Lasota   Dearborn, Mich.
  Mr L.R. Alden   Haslett, Mich.

Canadian Yachting Association:
 A new publication, entitled “Canadian Yachting Year Book” will be issued this May with the compliments of DuPont of Canada Limited.  This yearbook will be compiled in conjunction with the CYA and the Canadian Power Squadron; and it is hoped it will subsequently become an annual publication.  Wayfarer owners will be advised, in due course, when and where the “Year Book” may be obtained.

 Our readers will be interested to know that as of Jan. 20th, 1962, the membership of the CYA consisted of 41 Clubs and Squadrons, 3 Regional Associations, 11 Class Associations and 45 Individual Members of three classes: Sustaining, Contributing and Regular.

 Members of the CWOA are encouraged to join the CYA as Individual Members (the annual fee for a Regular Individual Member is $5.00).  Interested owners should contact the CWOA Secretary for application forms.  Centreboard Class Associations registered with the CYA are currently as follows:

  Canadian Wayfarer Owners’ Association
  Canadian Dinghy Assoc.
  Canadian Lightning Assoc.
  Canadian Y-Flyer Assoc.
  International Flying Dutchman Assoc.
  Flying Dutchman Junior Assoc.
  Canadian Firefly Assoc.
  G.P. 14 Class Assoc.

Put-in-Bay Regatta (Aug. 13-15):
 The Put-in-Bay Regatta, Lake Erie, is a major Great Lakes event, and Wayfarer sailors are urged to make every effort to attend.  The Commodore of the Inter-Lake Yachting Association, Mr Harry M. MacFarlane, has very kindly invited the Wayfarer Class to participate in this regatta which is the annual regatta of the ILYA.

 The invitation to attend will take the form of personal invitations to those owners who plan to attend.  All those interested are asked to notify the CWOA Secretary who will in turn forward these names to the Commodore.  We request that all names be in our hands by 1st July 1962.  The Wayfarer Class will probably sail the 4 1/2 miles course, twice around.  This will be the same course as sailed by the Lightning Class.

Plan to attend our Wayfarer Class championships.  They will be bigger than ever this year.  Both the Canadian and North American championships will be a five race series, with the best four counting.

Wayfarer skippers competing in the Wandermeer Cup races have been invited to leave their boats at the Brockville YC, ready for the Canadian championships the following weekend.
 
 

From the Sternsheets:
Have you noticed there is a new Wayfarer owner (Mr John Gladwell) way out west in Washington State?  The Class sure is getting around.

Bill Hudson has sold his Wayfarer #144.  He plans to stay in the Class however, and will probably get a new boat later this year.

A new CYA ruling specifies that mainsail numbers must be located so that those on the starboard side are higher.

There is hope that the Wayfarer will be adopted as a class in the Kingston YC, Ontario. 

The lone pioneer of the Wayfarer Class on Lake Fanshawe, London, will be Dr D.A. Nichol who will be sailing his newWayfarer down there this year.  There has been a great amount of interest from that district, in the Wayfarer, and we’re sure we’ll see many more Wayfarers on Fanshawe, as a result of Dr Nichol’s efforts.

Kitchener YC has established the Wayfarer as a class in the club.  Peter Bassin, #421, and Dr Alan Chovil, #439, will be sailing there during ‘62.

Mr Clarence Perry, #453, who sails his Wayfarer in the Kawartha Lakes district, reports that last fall, he sailed with EIGHT aboard, and felt there was room for more.

Arthur Earl (Class Chief Measurer) is making good progress with his second boat, #285.  When completed however, it will be subject to a very careful inspection.

Toronto regattas will use separate starting lines this year, to prevent fouling of classes at the mark.

Entrants in the ‘62 North American Championships, and all Wayfarer owners, are cordially invited to a Cocktail Party at C & L on Saturday, Sept. 1st 6.30 pm to 9.30 p.m.  So don’t miss this, as Henry and Ken always give a first class party.

Watch Motor Boating, the Wayfarer will be getting quite a spread.

Those tight-wads who have not as yet paid their $2.50 annual CWOA subscription, are respectfully asked to do so as soon as possible.  Good Sailing,
