Canadian Nationals in New Brunswick
Today I recieved an e-mail from Sean McDermott in New Brunswick Canada: “Hi Howard, I was on Scuttlebutt this morning and saw the piece about your new website then remembered that it had been many years since we sent anyone to the Downeast Regatta and thought some of your fleet may be interested in coming to the Canadian Nats as they are in New Brunswick this year, a first. The races are run from Shediac which is a seaside community about 1/2 hour drive past Moncton, basically straight up the I95, hang a right on the Trans Canada highway, an easy day trip. Accommodations are inexpensive and the water is the warmest north of the Carolinas and also the largest exporter of lobster in the world which appears to be a draw for your fleet 
I have copied Dale Robertson, our fleet captain on this.
More info can be found at: http://www.j24class.org/Events/tabid/60/Default.aspx The dates are August 2nd to 5th but that includes measurement days that you may not need. Anyhow, an idea. I would like to see us send a couple of boats to the Downeast Regatta this September. Cheers for now, Sean”
I’ve put a link to their event site on our Events bar. I think it would be great if we could get a boat or two from Fleet 43 to go. It’s also an opportunity to build support for the Downeast with our neighbors up North.
