Regatta Report

Cary Diehl and Ford Yacht Club put on another fantastic Class Championship.  Friday we were able to get two races in after a slight delay waiting for the wind to fill in.  Once filled in, we had 5-9kts of breeze under blue skies and temps in the 70s.  Unfortunately on Saturday the wind never filled in, however, it allowed all of us to catch up and see friends we haven't seen in a while.  Saturday night brought the class banquet at Ford Yacht Club with some tasty food.  Sunday morning brought fog which cleared up and we headed to the course.  The wind ended up filling in nicely at 10-15kts by the second race.  After four races Dan Cherish and Extreme2 were crowned Class Champions.  Thank you to Cary Diehl, Ford Yacht Club and all of its volunteers for putting on a great regatta.  Next year the Class Championship returns to Port Huron, MI.

Support SailGI's Mission

While you're enjoying the photos, we want to take a moment to highlight the incredible work that SailGI does. As a 501(c)(3) non-profit located on Grosse Ile and partnered with the Ford Yacht Club, their mission is to promote safe boating through education, instruction, and experiences for members of the Ford Yacht Club, as well as US Military Veterans, Active Duty Military, and First Responders. They also offer scholarships to these deserving groups.

Their support for our regatta is just one example of how they contribute to the sailing community. If you are able, please consider making a donation to help them continue their important and impactful work. Every contribution, no matter the size, helps them achieve their mission.

Thank you again to SailGI for their generosity and for giving us these great memories of the regatta.
