2012 RCYC Midweek Racing Starts

RCYC-MW-May 5-8-2012 6-40-26 PM Starcross' Michael Penny and 7 other RCYC boats joined the fray on the initial RCYC Midweek (MW) Spring series -Race 1. In what portends to be a competitive season at the Island club, low wind speed and north-eastern wind direction did not deter sailors. The favourable temperature, balmy by early season standards, should favour the Fleet 4 first major regatta at the always fun ABYC, coming up in less than two weeks. Here are the first MW results: RCYC Midweek Results

Hey Jude - CAN110 - RCYC It is not just a spring tradition for Jim Rathbun's Hey Jude, early spring racing at Annapolis, it is a burning desire to compete at a high level, and to bring that competitive spirit early into the Fleet 4 racing season. This year's outing to Annapolis was extra special as Hey Jude handily won the 2012 edition of the NOOD regatta, outclassing the local competitors.

Hey Jude, has been a top competitor at all the regional or national events she has participated in the last few years showing remarkable consistency always finishing on the top ranks. Jim and his crew have been outstanding representatives of the great level of racing practiced at Fleet 4. We expect his outstanding result will motivate others to try their talents at away events and their experience will make our fleet even stronger. Way to go Jim!

Here the events final results. 2012 Nood
