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.

RANGER TUGS R-27

By Andy Adams

Ranger Tugs have been around since 1958 and they have developed a great formula: one boat, one price. Almost everything is included, and there is literally a fan club of owners who share stories, information and who set up events and rendezvous with other Ranger Tugs owners. www.Tugnuts.com is a community hub for owners of Ranger Tugs, Cutwater Boats and Solara Boats, all made by Fluid Motion!

Tugnuts.com is quite a unique resource. The online forum has quick links to a chat, info about cruises & gatherings, a channel to ask questions of the Ranger Tugs Factory, Ranger Tugs Technical Discussions, “How to” videos and more.

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.

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.
