Racing


The big sailing event of the year is, no doubt, the TSCC's race around the island. This was my first year competing. We did not exactly go around the Toronto island, but along it's side. I steered on the way back while dad controlled the spinnaker(large sail in the front, good for when the wind is behind you). Dad and I finished 7th out of 11 in our category. The picture is the view from the front of our Waferer? Wafer? Wefre? Anyway, our boat.

Wayfairer. Nice picture, but shouldn't you have been concentrating on the race? ;-)

So, when you come to Hong Kong next year you will be ready to take me sailing!

I almost forgot to mention that during the race, we crossed paths with a huge cargo ship named «Redhead».
