The association is always keen to see new boat owners
I saw them out on the lake today having a ball, prefect weather for it. Couldn't get a good pic as I was to far off when I sailed by, but neck and neck racing I'm sure they were smiling.
RL 24 nationals RMYC Toronto
Invitation Race 1 was won by Dodgy Vindaloo, 2nd was Lowana VI, 3rd was Cosmic Sedso, 4th was Spud Gun and 5th was Spiral Navigator.
The second Invitation Race was won by Spud Gun, 2nd was Cosmic Sedso, 3rd was Dodgy Vindaloo, 4th was Lowana V and 5th was Spiral Navigator.
The third race was cancelled.
Today we had 15 knots of sou-east wind. There was less than one minute between 1st and 4th. The lead changed on every leg which made for great racing. Mistakes made on the race course separated the boats which makes the National Title wide open as all boats are equal in speed.
All smiles by crew and owners as it's game on for a fast and furious week.

Race 2 and 3 on Tuesday was sailed in a SE 12-18 knot breeze . The morning race was the long course with LowanaV getting the gun with a great comeback on the last leg to take the lead to the finish.
The afternoon race was a short course. Everyone was a bit keen at the start with Lowana V a bit early . The lead changed several times down the spinnaker runs , Lowana VI was fast upwind then dropping some places on the runs. On the last rounding mark there was a near miss with Lowana VI and Spud gun which gave Cosmicsedso a lead up to the finish. Four boats traded blows up the last work with Spud gun taking the win.
Races 3 and 4 today expected light south to southeast breeze.
Wednesday racing totally dominated by F-Troop from RQYS with two wins which lifts his ranking to second overall. Simon on Lowana V is currently leading with two seconds.
Conditions today were SE 5-12 knots variable which made it difficult to pick the winning side.
All eyes on F- troop tomorrow to see if they can continue their domination.
Two short races completed today. Overall on scratch results F-Troop leads on 7.3, Spud Gun and Lowana 5 equal on 8.8 points.
Today was easily the best sailing because races were decided on the last leg.
It all comes down to the final race tomorrow starting at 11am.
Breeze was easterly 10 knots similar breeze expected tomorrow.
Price giving tomorrow night being presented with guest Tom Addis ( Volvo ocean race and Wild oats navigator ).
Great coverage you have given us there Ruckus and wonderful photos.
The RL 24s are a fantastic little yacht.
Thanks very much for the posts.
