The annual Screwball Regatta will be hosted by Pointe Claire Yacht Club.
The event will have racing over the three days starting Friday at 11am.
Screwball is always a great event so make sure you come on down for fun on and off the water.
There will be a dinner on the Saturday night catered for by Chef Binky Holleran - Theme is "Real Mexican". Tickets $25.00
This will be followed by a Screwball after party going into the wee hours.
Race Report
Screwball has its own special traditions. Unlike all other regattas during the sailing season when the wind and action is unpredictable, Screwball is pretty much guaranteed to be exciting and eventful. This year was truly memorable. Mother Nature spoiled us with one day of light and erratically shifty conditions, followed by two days of 25-30 knot winds and some pretty nasty chop! This led to much swimming by every participant throughout the entire weekend. Including 3 boats on the start-line of one race with 45 seconds before the gun! Let's just say the race committee got a pretty good show!!!
With winds like we had, one can only imagine that boat breakage is inevitable. And you would be right! Nic and Stephen experienced this first hand when their rudder ripped out of their transom. Poor boat!
Once everyone was back on-land, dry and warm, we were presented with a delicious Mexican themed dinner Saturday night. We even had a great band playing called: Break in the Silence. Thank you very much Shane, Val, Declan and Matys for being our musicians for the night!
I would like to thank Luka Bartulovic for taking some awesome pictures of us in action over the weekend. Please visit his site to check those out (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Kaluca/196000340458855)
Finally, for the boring part…the Screwball XXXI podium finishes! Nic and Stephen finished in 3rd place, followed by Rune and Jochen in 2nd place and Tom and Joe in 1st place!
Thank you very much to everyone who had a part in this regatta and making it as enjoyable as it always is!!!
See you all next year!!!
