Greeting all!
In case any of you were wondering what happened to the Rondeau Spring Regatta (Windfest), the simple answer is this: We have moved it to the summer! � Last year (about a week after our spring event), RYC was approached by�Windsurfing Canada�and Ontario Sailing and asked to host a summer regatta that would be an official stop on the WC / OS summer race circuit. � Of course I / we said sure and the scrambling began. �In the end, the event went off without a hitch and saw nearly 20 racers from Ontario, Michigan and Ohio compete in a 15 knot southwest thermal. Following this event and its overall success, we were asked to make this an annual stop on their race circuit. �Subsequent discussions ensued amongst the RYC board of directors, and it was suggested and approved that for the 2009 RYC season that the WC / OS stop would be our only club endorsed windsurfing regatta this year. For 2009, the RYC windsurfing regatta will be held on July 4th. July 5th is being held open for a no wind / thunderstorm date. �Attached is the Notice of Race for this event with all the information. Although this race is a formal stop on the WC / OS circuit it is still open for all to compete and have fun -- we want to see people of all ages and abilities on the water. As usual, on race day, the Rondeau Optimist Club will be on-site selling breakfast, and our own club will be selling burgers and dogs at lunch time. �We also plan on running a free windsurfing beginner's clinic at some point during the day. I am also pleased to say that Steve Martin and the�Boardsports�crew will be at Rondeau for this weekend with a full demo program. � Please mark your calendars for this event and I look forward to seeing everyone back at Rondeau! Cheers, Dave� Added by KC5555 Source: Dave French
