2019 CanAm now two days

Can Am Tripp 26

Mar 28, 2019

Youngstown’s CanAm Regatta for 2019 will be a two day regatta this year, easier on the crew and family schedules! All the same great racing with top knotch RC work and fun ashore!  It’s a cordial international competition between two country’s minutes across the Niagara River from each other.

Canam Winners 2018New boats to the fleet include a J/99, Melges IC 37, Melges 32, to go with the J/88’s, J/111, etc.  The PHRF fleet will have some quick boats in it. There’s even a Farr 40 registered already.

The organizers emphasize that the CanAm open to ALL boats, not just one design.  We will have fleets for PHRF and IRC, multi-hull, and one design.  If you come, we will have racing for you!  We are hoping that boats from Buffalo, Toronto, Rochester, etc will make the trip and then race LYRA the week after.

Tahiti—Updates from Paradise

By Zuzana Prochaska

I’ve been to Tahiti seven times—six on charter and once as crew for a couple of yachties. Over the 25 years that I’ve been visiting, it’s changed dramatically. Yet, inexplicably, it has also stayed the same.

…you understand now why you came this way.
