Grace Pool competing at the Wazsp All Stars

The Bay of Cádiz once again demonstrates its potential as a venue for major sailing events, with a day marked by alternating easterly and westerly winds and an organisation that made it possible to complete all the scheduled races.

End of an era: Whippet sold to Bryan Guenther of Royal Victoria Yacht Club

On October 10, Whippet (hull #5) was sold to Bryan Guenther of Victoria by Craig Strand for about CDN$7,000, and it is the 6th transaction of the year.

Bryan is an ex-29er racer at the Canadian National Team level (and spent about 5 years crewing on a Melges 24 in Victoria leading up to the 2018 Worlds) who will be a great addition to Fleet 2. He’s super keen to get back into racing after a number of years cruising.

With a dark blue hull, Whippet had sails, an outboard motor, and a yard dolly included. It also has a 2019 Measurement Certificate and cabin boards and cushions. The boat had been dry-sailed out of RVYC for the last 10+ years. The mast was purchased from MG Marine in 2008 and is in good condition, and the rudder and keel are in good condition and have been faired, and the epoxy bottom paint was done previously.
