(Kingston, ONT, Canada)- The 2018 Canadian J/24 Nationals are being held
in conjunction with CORK/ Sail Kingston Regatta in that famously windy
(mostly) location at the far eastern end of Lake Ontario. Since 1979,
the J/24s have been sailing on Lake Ontario and across all parts of
Canada for over 40 years, this year marking the 40th time Canadians have
sailed their National Championship in J/24s! The lake is a perfect
venue for the event, as the classic seabreezes start out light in the
mornings from the SSW, then slowly build from 6-10 kts into the 12-18
kts range by late afternoon. The thirteen boats sailing in this year’s event has a dozen Canadian teams and one American (a woman skipper- Kira Munger from Fair Haven, New York sailing USA 423). The Montreal crews include Stephan Blais CAN 3366, Fred Deom CAN 4019, & Brian Morris CAN 3782. The Ottawa fleet (the Canadian capitol) sailors include Jean Levac CAN 5254 and Richard Tanguay CAN 2594. The Toronto crews include Dave Ogden’s CAN 5235 and Ed Rees’ CAN 3729.
