Fall 2019 Regatta
30-09-2019
by Joe Strelow, 30-09-2019
The Fall regatta in Midland Ontario was another fun weekend! Eight boats were in the water for the regatta, but only 6 crews were available. Pride was very competitive finishing 3rd. The boat is back in Michigan for the winter with a sort list of repairs and modifications planned for winter. We are looking forward to a big group for the 2020 North American Regatta in June.
Update after the 2019 North American Regatta

Pride was returned to racing form over the winter with new sails and many modifications, as well as fresh paint. Work continues but for the summer it is racing again as we learn to get the most from this boat. Our new friends at the Texas Corinthian Yacht Club provided additional background and history on this boat as well as some cool old photos at the North American Regatta in June. This has been a great adventure in terms of the people that have contributed to the story. Looking forward to another update of this story in September!
Pride is sailing again!

It took more work than planned, but Pride sailed in the fall 5.5 regatta in Midland Ontario at the end of September. Thanks to all the folks who chipped in to make this happen! The sails are from US93 - and were the ones that came with the boat. We believe that this boat can be competitive again, and it is indoors for the winter where it will get additional service in preparation for the June 2019 regatta.
