 One of the best One Design Regattas in the Great Lakes is back on this year. The One Design Event (including the Dragon Fleet) is on from June 18th to 20th at Edgewater Yacht Club just west of downtown. Great sailing, great sponsors - a good time for all!
Racing has resumed in Vancouver. The Wednesday One Design Series is back on starting June 2 and continuing until September 15th. And the monthly One Design Regattas re-started on June 5th (one day only). The first regatta was held in blustery, cool, and changeable conditions for a fleet that was a little out of practice. Despite that, seven Dragons were out on English Bay - nice to see them back!  Bob passed away unexpectedly Sunday, September 6, 2020, coming in from a race on Lake Erie. Bob owned a number of Dragons over the years, including USA289 Jan Van Gent. A Life Celebration will be scheduled in his honor in 2021. The 2019-2020 IDA Magazine is going to the printers today. Here's a sneak peak. Members of National Associations get one for free. If you need more for a promotional event or to hand out at your local Yacht Club, contact your Dragon Association. Better yet, join your National Association and get one of your own!
Steve passed away on December 28th, 2019. He had a long, wonderful life, lived large and fully. There will be a celebration of his life in the coming Spring, on Sunday May 17th in Toronto on what would have been his 94th birthday. In case you missed it here is Steve’s story about his time in the Dragon Class from Hungary via the UK to Canada.  This year's Pacific Interport was hosted by the Royal Sydney Yacht Squadron and the New South Wales chapter of the Australian Dragon Association, with participating teams from the Royal Hong Kong YC and the Kansai YC. The team from the Royal Vancouver YC were unable to come this year, but hope to be at the next event in Kansai in early summer 2021. The host Club had a narrow win over Japan and a little impromptu swimming in one race.
