J/22s for Canadian Women's Sailing Championship
(Toronto, Ontario, Canada)- The Canadian Yachting Association Women's National Keel Boat Championship will be held this year at Hudson Yacht Club, June 3-5. The Friday will be a clinic, with on water coaching, followed by a debriefing. Saturday and Sunday will be a regatta, with the top Canadian boat to be awarded the CYA WNKC trophy.
This year's choice of boat is the J/22, and while there are a few loaner boats available, they're hopeful that most competitors will be able to bring their own. For any Canadian women planning to sail in the Rolex Women's Worlds in Rochester, NY just across Lake Ontario, this event will be great practice (pictured here is the Canadian Team that sailed the Sundance Cup in Fort Worth, Texas). Registration is open now and may be accessed at J/22 Canadian Women's Keelboat Sailing Championship.
