Being a sailor, racer, competitor myself, I have sailed boats ranging from 16ft - 45ft and everything in between, (although I have not sailed the boat I intend to use for this event) as for my own boat it was built in Lunenburg NS and is called a Falcon 16 made by Macvey yachts in 1965, we boast 3 of the classics in our fleet, and race them each year, No worries these are not the boats that will be used for this event. I have experienced some pretty awesome weather in the Atlantic Ocean, and in the lake where I intend to hold the event (I am the undefeated champ on this lake, and my marina has dubbed me commodore of Lake Petitcodiac 3 years running). Each time I race in a sailing event, I think of what could be done different to make it better. Spending endless hours carefully thinking out this event, trying to foresee any problems that could arise, then thinking out solutions etc.
