Foiling: Canadian Waszp Championships buzz Stingston

Canadian Waszp Championships

July 21, 2022

Portsmouth Harbour in Kingston was the site of this weekend’s Canadian Waszp Class Championship with 18 boats on the line. While the winds did not fully cooperate, the regatta was able to stage six races and bring the fleet together for its biggest event ever in this country.

The Waszp class is supported by CAN Sail GP which, through its We CAN FIL initiative has brought enthusiastic encouragement and several boats to foiling in Canada. The philosophy is to help the Canadian Sail GP concept by creating excitement across the country, developing foiling sailors and ardent fans.

The Whitsunday Islands

On my first day as a commercially registered yacht captain, I sailed a Fontaine Pajot 38 catamaran from mainland Australia across the Whitsunday Passage to the western shores of the world-famous Whitsunday islands.

We cruised northeast on a 15-knot beam reach… perfect catamaran sailing conditions, watching the hazy shapes of the islands colourize and morph into crescent beaches, jungled ridgelines and rocky outcrops.
