Deep Cove Regatta

DEEP Cove Yacht Club hosted its annual regatta on September 9 and 10 and, despite the nasty weekend weather, the event was a big success. Forty-three boats from all around the Vancouver area entered the competition. On Saturday, the rains were relentless. But on Sunday, the skies cleared allowing for some good racing and some fun times. Sunday afternoon, the awards were handed out and everyone got a chance to socialize, relax and tell their stories.


Quantum Sails' Frances Cross (left) and sailor Stephanie Mottram met for the first time at the regatta. Later this year, Stephanie will be in Toronto sailing as part of the BC women's team.	People called them Spanky & Sparky, but L'Aristo Racing team members Arno Zondag (left) and Patrick Fowler are actually pretty good sailors.	It was the inaugural voyage for the "Freudian Sloop" and her crew, namely (from left) Kim Bassett, Carol Selig, Terry Cloughly and captain Jennifer Drummond.	Mark Collett (left) and Tal Balagno raced in division 7 aboard "High Strung".	Nick Ratel (left), aboard "High Strung", and Dan Klinksgaard, abord "Haida 26" both enjoyed their day on the water. Dan finished 2nd overall in the competition.

Division 10 winners Don Show (left), Carol Macmillan (centre) and Ron Pound were aboard the boat "Senza", owned by Erwin Fiedler (missing from photo).	"It was good racing, but it was wet," said race committee member and event organizer Ross Bligh.	Jordan Dobrikin went home with the goods, but no one knows for sure if the bear is going to become his boat's official mascot.	This trio was busy swapping sea stories in the background.

The crew of the "Powomis" came in first in Division 5. From left: Paul Stanley, Isobel Gardner and captain Tom Gardner.
