The Endurance/Night race ran August 25 and 26. Due to some calculation errors, the results have changed. First and second place have exchanged positions. Below are the new results, archives along with pictures.

The Fall Series ran September 8 and 9. Results and winner photos follow.

A great summer of Pursuit Racing competition and fellowship has come to an end! Fugitive (Terry and Rob) finished the year first overall with Point of Order (Don and Sarah) coming in a very close second. Accrewed Interest (Sue Styles, SBYC) placed third.

This is the first year in a long time a night race has been run so only six boats participated. By all accounts it was a very challenging and rewarding night – consider participating next year!

Alberta Cup was a classic Wabamun fall race with winds varying from barely a whisper to over 20 knots. Sunday racing was postponed until Monday due to high winds. Four Competitors were able to compete on Monday and Point of Order (Don and Sarah) came away with the win.

This year's Splice the Mainbrace race will take place September 22 and 23. The Notice of Race, Registration Form and Course Layout are in this document. Write to EYC Fleet Captain Tim Bowles at fleetcaptain@edmontonyachtclub.ca if you have questions.

(What's this mainbrace and why does it need splicing? "Originally an order for one of the most difficult emergency repair jobs aboard a sailing ship...")

This year's Fall Series will run over a single weekend, September 8 and 9. The Notice of Race, Registration Form and Course Layout are in this document. Write to EYC Fleet Captain Tim Bowles at fleetcaptain@edmontonyachtclub.ca if you have questions.

The day started with light winds that became quite strong and gusty during all three Jack & Jill races, resulting in a couple of boats having to retire due to Equipment trouble. Despite the tough sailing conditions the day was very enjoyable with some fine sailing and tight competition.

Many thanks to the Race Committee: Joanne Wynn & Tim Bowles from EYC and John Semple from SBYC.

Wednesday August 15, the Wind finally picked up and allowed for some very entertaining and competitive Racing. However, due to some misinformation regarding the proper course to be sailed, the race results were declared null and void and will not be included in the series statistics. Apologies from Fleet Captain, Tim Bowles.

One more Wednesday night race remains, August 29.

Please check out the Pursuit Sailing Instructions, including specifics on the continuous Triangle course to be sailed!!
