NIYC champs!

The Nova Ice Yacht Club sailed the NS Champs/AKA Snelly cup on Saturday Feb 17 on beautiful fast ice at MushAMush Lake. Races 1-2 were very exciting in breezy air calling for the MS1 sail. Races 2-3, a bit lighter calling for the ABSS sail and races 5-6 the FO1 sail was best for the lighter wind later in the day. Everyone had their moments of glory and especially for Clyde Childs who scored a second place finish in race 3. After race 4 we took a break to enjoy great hot food and snacks provided by Claudette, we were well fed and watered and continued on to races 5-6. Races 5-6 turned out to be good light air practice. In races 5-6, positions on the race course were traded a few times due to shifting wind conditions with the outcome determined in the very last part of the downwind leg to the finish line. It was a great day of racing on Lake MushAMush.
