2006 J105 Fleet 4 Champion - Live Edge.

Fleet 4 Championship: Planet B (2nd), Re:Tern (3rd).

Planet B's Robert Baker, reminded his crew on the remarkable season they had just completed, ABYC (2nd), PCYC (1st) YYC (1st), EYC (1st - tied), all while still missing two important regattas (whilst away at New Port to Bermuda early in the year) 3rd and 4th were Tern and Live Edge. Two boats which also had great racing seasons for 2006. Dave Shaver's Re:Tern proved as fast and Long Island's sound's loss of Hull 73, proved a great competitive addition to the Fleet and the RCYC's fleet. Mike Mountford's Fleet 4 Championship with constant top finishes in the last three years at all major events speak volumes of their crew and skipper racing pedigree.

RCYC Home The Royal Canadian Yacht Club - RCYC played host to the J105 Canadians for the 5th straight year at the end of July. The Canadians is the most important race of the J105 Canadian Summer sailing season and featured 14 identically prepared J105's competing for the Canadian Championship with the winner taking home the Cedric G Gyles Trophy. The July event is usually characterized by light fickle winds. After heated discussion in the winter meetings when the 2004 schedule was decided, it was questioned whether to hold the event again in July. This year however our unsettled summer winds filled in and provided three great days of racing.
