On Wednesday night, the Toronto fleet did a bit of "Long Term Fleet Development".
Hoping to get some younger sailors hooked on the rush of high-performance fourteen sailing, they took a group of interested, enthusiastic RCYC Junior Club members out for a test sail. Average age: approximately 13.
The conditions couldn't have been better. Two wire beats and reaches in flat water. Check out the video of the action! (Great editing work, too)
Thanks to all who pulled this great event together.

I14 Open House & Info Night
For anyone interested in getting into the fleet, or just finding out more about I14 sailing, we're hosting an Open House and Information Session on Saturday September 4th.
The 2013 I14 World Championships will be hosted by the RCYC, and this is a great opportunity to get in ahead of this great event. We will have a short presentation about the class, the event in Toronto, local racing and contacts/info for buying a used boat. In the next few seasons we are expecting a number of used boats to become available (all price ranges) so if you are interested, this is the best place to learn about what is on the market or meet a keen skipper/crew.
After the info session, we'll be joining the Women's Match Racing Regatta for a social and free beer! (That's right, I14s, girls, and free beer - the sailing trifecta)
If you are interested in going out for a ride on an I14 ahead of time, or would like more information or directions, please leave a comment below and we'll be in touch.
See you then!
