Six keen NSC Keelboat teams participated in Sunday’s BYC Queen’s Park Long Distance race. While a beautiful fall day, the winds were frustratingly light, highly variable and patchy, with only shore breezes to go on at times, leading to a long challenging race!
It was a cool Fall windy day with constant pouring rain, poor visibility, and yet nine passionate NSC sailors went out to test their skills in Saturday’s Single-handed Race.
The annual NSC Singlehanded Keelboat Race is this Saturday, September 13th! Warning gun is at 1350h, course to be sailed in the vicinity of the racing circle will be displayed on the RC boat. Note: PHRF Boats will be handicapped as having NO spinnakers, however, spinnakers may be used.

Water levels have dropped more than a metre since their peak on May 21st, and BYC is scheduled to remove their gates on Thursday, June 5th. However, BYC has asked that the start of weeknight Interclub racing be deferred until the week of June 9th.
The BYC gates are not out and hence the start of the Interclub Women’s Series I is being postponed. Until then, beginning May 26th, NSC will host a Women’s Ice Breaker Series
Update 2014-05-21: As of May 21st, water levels are within a few centimeters of the near record peak reached last year. However, in 2013, the peak was reached May 1st. Now, at 59.74 m, the water level is more than 50 cm
