History
Halibut/Popham Island
April 30, 2022.
We have not been able to run this event for the last two years. This combined with Southern Straits and Howe Sound is our contribution to keel boat racing in the lower mainland. A few months ago Ian Lloyd was given the responsibility of writing out the Notice of Race followed by the Sailing Instructions. Ample time was given so that all sailors could be prepared for the Saturday April 30th race. A few days prior to the race John Thomas and Mike Hughes checked all the equipment ready for the event. We would be using “Chaperone”as the Committee Boat, and “Iron Will” for mark set.
At 8.30 a.m on Saturday morning the first shift arrived. The Race Officer would be Mike Hughes joined by Roger Haggar, John Thomas and Bev Parslow for the first shift until 1.00. Mark set sailors were junior members of the club; Charlie and Mason. At 11 a.m. the first fleet left for Halibut Bank followed by the Popham group. The wind at the moment was iffy at best. It was classified as a race under 9 knots.The next shift came on at 1.00 consisting of Sean Hulscher and Kathy Parslow. The complete Popham fleet returned but the lack of wind was causing problems for the Halibut competitors. Sadly only two of the Halibut race made it by the 6 p.m. deadline. We returned home after hoisting the marks at 6.30. The fleet of 20 boats was much smaller than the past and hopefully we will have more interest in the years to come. Congrats to Long Board and the Shadow for their performance. Sorry Fortissimo, Kiss and 65 Red Roses. There will be changes in the future regarding an earlier start. Salacious, Kodiak and Catch 22 all did well in the Popham race.
Thanks to all the volunteers for their work. Thanks to the kitchen staff for the lunches, and finally thanks to maintenance for getting the boats ready. Thanks to Dale for his help including doing the results.
