Open 3rd went to the CL 16, Drew Petteplace and Lindsay Stanlick.

Personalized plaques for all participants were created Saturday night and Sunday afternoon by Kevin Biskaborn who still had time to place 2nd in a tough Laser fleet. Lovely idea, Kevin! Here Len Macdougall (r) and Andy Turnbull display their Wayfarer 10th-place plaques.

 Dave Richardson and Kim Rainville, who came all the way from North Bay, scored Wayfarer 8th, just behind
Roger Shepherd and Raewyn Perry who had to leave early to accommodate Roger's truck driving gig to Chicago.
...

And in 6th place we had John and Dolores de Boer - plaques and a "Pumpkin Surprise"!

Wayfarer 5th: that always smiling team of Mike Codd (r) and Kirk Iredale.
