2023 NORTH AMERICAN CHAMPIONSHIP DAY TWO
Day two of the Volvo Penta 2023 Star North American Championship, hosted by Royal Vancouver Yacht Club in English Bay started as a completely different day from yesterday. Sailors and Race Committee did not have to wait through an overcast easterly wind blowing in “the wrong direction”. Instead, today the predominant westerly was filling into English Bay by 11 o’clock with sunny skies and the race area was ready for an on-time start at 1205.
Day One of the 2023 North American Championship in Vancouver, Canada
The thirty teams of sailors ready to compete on the first day of the 2023 Star North American Championship, hosted by Royal Vancouver Yacht Club, woke this morning to bleary overcast skies, temperatures in the low 50s, and a non sustainable breeze from the east. This was certainly not what they were hoping for after the last few days of sunnier weather and the westerlies of English Bay, typical for early Summer.

Need a Bacardi crew or a Star boat moved to Vancouver from Miami?
A Seattle Star sailor has offered:
If you happen to know anyone looking for help getting their boat to NA’s, I have the month around Bacardi Cup off of work and would be willing to fly down there and drive a boat back. I can also store it at my house in Eastern Washington before the event if that's useful. I'd also crew for someone for Bacardi Cup too if you know anyone looking.
Connect with William Siemers for details, if you’re interested.
