INTERCLUB COMPETITION COMMITTEE

BY BRIDGET GROBLE

I would like to reflect on the Interclub Competitions at which CYC was represented over the past year. We competed in four events throughout the year, with a total of 18 members proudly representing our Club. Three of the regattas were fleet races, with one being an all-women’s fleet race, and the fourth a world-renowned interclub match race. Sailors competed in a wide variety of boats: J/22s, Catalina 37s, J/105s, Sonars, and RS21s. The season was highlighted by a fourth place finish at the Seawanhaka Cup. As all of this season’s competitors can attest to, interclub regattas take a high level of skill, adaptability, and teamwork. Sailors must be able to quickly learn new boats, be adaptable to sailing with new teammates, and foster teamwork skills in order to be successful. The Interclub Competition Committee has its sights set high for 2023—we hope to compete in at least eight events this season and rejoin the Interclub team racing circuit.
