DN Iceboating North Americans
In January the DN Iceboating racers were scratching their heads wondering about ice conditions with such a mild winter. They ventured far west to find great conditions in Fort Peck Montana. Gold fleet top three finishers were 1st James ‘T’ Thieler, 2nd Ron Sherry and 3rd Chad Atkins.

F18 Nationals Hosted at Crescent
Crescent
hosted the F18 North American Championship under Chairman PC Chris
Tuckfield and a cadre of volunteers. The event ran from September 14 - 19, with 23 teams from as far away as Texas, Oregon, Florida,
California, Montreal and even Hawaii. The event included an extensive social schedule for regatta participants, CSYC
members and guests; highlighted by a beautiful cruise down the Detroit River.
The race committee, led by principal race officer Matt Bounds did a great job to complete 9 races in challenging conditions. CSYC member Uli Gollwitzer and Liam Walz fought hard to finish 3rd overall, beating the Canadian Champions by one point. Their third place came down to an exciting and tightly contested final downwind leg in the final race. Other F18 teams from
CSYC finished well including Jeff and Evan Rehm (9th), and Arnold Slominski with Wayne Tetlow (19th).
A special award was given to Lise Duchesne as the top female skipper with crew Patrick Caux. This perpetual trophy was created in honor of Sandra Tartaglino, long time catamaran sailor and dedicated supporter of sailing, who died in a tragic accident this year.
