Great, close 8-race Ontario Championship series in Ottawa results in tie at the top!

10 Wayfarer teams enjoyed fine winds and great hospitality at the 2008 Ontarios hosted as usual by the Lac Deschênes SC July 19-20. After spotting Frank Goulay and Kim Bergevin (above right) a big early lead, defending champ, Uncle Al, and pick-up crew, Angus Wilson (13) (above left) came back just enough to end up in a tie for the title. Click here for complete results. Pics and report to follow soon.

Uncle Al treated to Hooter's as he turns 67 at the Rebel Nationals in Fenton, MI
!!

July 13-17 saw Uncle Al continue a tradition as he crewed for his friend, Dan Hockenberry (2nd from left above) in the Rebel Nationals in Fenton, MI. The latter treated Al to a birthday supper at Hooter's where we were joined by dignitaries such as current Rebel National champ and former Rebel & Lightning builder, Dave Nickels (2nd from right). Forced to undergo the "birthday boy" ordeal (below), Uncle Al put on a brave face as he suffered.

Dan and Al (photo below) placed 5th in a fleet of 27 Rebels over 8 races in warm winds that ranged from drifters to stuff that even made Rebels plane - and sometimes capsize and nearly sink!
