(Chester, Nova Scotia)- Recently, we received a wonderful note from a long-time
Canadian J/24 sailor from the past- Dave Connolly. He just started sailing his new
J/111 STAMPEDER this past 2012 summer in Chester, Nova Scotia at Chester Yacht Club. Dave had this to say,
"We
sailed a J/24 out of Toronto in the early 80's and I ran the Canadian
J/24 Class association for several years. In 1986, I was moved to
Calgary where there is really no water so we sold the boat and
essentially gave up sailing! When I decided to retire early last year,
one of the first things I did was order a boat through Jim Snair to get
back into racing at our summer home in Nova Scotia. We love the boat!
Our only complaint is that there aren't more J/111's in Nova Scotia.
It's great competitive sailing though with PHRF." Here's a picture of
them sailing and their happy, young crew!
