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.

(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...")

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.

The last couple of races have seen very light winds with tenacious Racers using all their skills to coax whatever speed they can out of their vessels. It is not too late to participate, as Pursuit Races (AKA, the Summer Series) continue on Wednesday evenings, August 15, 22 and 29.
