Worlds Photos
From Jamie Dike:
This message just came from Bastien who was on our mark boat.
Let me know if anyone wants some and I will forward the requests to him.

This is the link to the pictures which I took during the weekend.
Don't know if any of the racers are interested, but I think there is the odd good picture in between. I uploaded in the highest quality I could, however, if someone is interested in particular pictures I'd be more than happy to forward pictures by email.
It was a fun weekend. Bastian
PS: I can’t decide if the title of this post should have an apostrophe as in World’s. Is it possesive or plural? Any of you English teachers care to comment?

2008 Results and Round-Up
All the regatta
results have been posted for 2008.
I have also added a new scoring page for the Challenge Cup.
The AGM was held at FBYC during the World Championships and Max Keeping from SummerSalt volunteered to be the new President of the Class. Go figure. Max and his crew Ken are also going to assume the duties of the web site. I will clean up whatever I can so that they have an up-to-date starting point. Let’s all give them our full support.
Pat Wachholz (40 Yard Bin) hands over the reigns of the position of Vice-President to Simon Krall (Red Shift).
We’re sorry to see Andrew (Bender) leave as President, he was definitely one of the best that we’ve ever had.
The NOD was fun. We didn’t have any racing on Saturday for lack of wind but we made it up later in the day when about 25 or so of us took the Open Bics out for a blast. Best fun we’ve had in a long time.
For those that missed the YYC Levels this year, it was the best racing we’ve seen in ages. The wind was furious for both days and the racing was tight. We had many boats on their side, ripped spinnakers and even a few boom ejections were heard around the course. Pablo pulled his heavy air magic out of the bag on Sunday and showed everyone how it’s done. We had a great rum party on Saturday hosted by the Bender team and it was very well attended. We saw some new faces from Ominous and they were introduced to the joys of collision when they tangled with E2 on Sunday. No real damage and no one was hurt so it was all good.
The Worlds at FBYC was a bit soggy this year but we managed to get 8 races finished in mostly light conditions. There were a lot of place changes with a few boat bumps but the bruises weren’t too bad. We had a few new faces from Proximity who were definitely the best dressed team. The band on Saturday was awesome. Congratulations to the winners, it was well earned. And if it’s any consolation, we all made top ten.
Someone counted upwards of 15 boats that may attend the Cornucopia. If you want some good racing then pencil it in. It’s not a bad party either. Bender is cooking on Friday night so be sure to visit them at the barbecue.
