Day four – Tuesday, August 6 –  delivered a consistent breeze throughout the day allowing all Canadian sailors to hit the water by noon.

Our Pan Am medalist Luke Ramsay of Vancouver (Sunfish  – Toronto 2015, silver) and Olympic (470 – London 2012, Nacra 17 – Rio 2016) veteran, Luke Ramsay, made his way up the scoreboard today. With 2nd, 1st, and 3rd place finishes, Luke now sits at the top of the fleet standing 1st overall.

While being at games isn’t something new, Luke says being on the water makes him feel like a kid again, “I’m just enjoying the fight on the water every day.”

Sailing into the Future at Antigua Sailing Week

By Mathew Channer

“Standby tack,” Canadian sailor Katy Campbell orders. The crew scrambles over the sheet lines and braces on the deck.

“Three, two, one, tack!”

I wait until the bow turns into the wind and the headsail snaps over, then crawl over the cabin top of Panacea X to the now windward side. The trim team smoothly sheets on the headsail and a competitor vessel shoots past our stern, feet away, as our Solana 45 beats eastward along Antigua’s south coast.
