MIST Camp and Zig Zag open regatta
A big thank you to Darrell Stewart from Zig Zag Yacht Club for organizing MIST
Camp and the open regatta on the weekend. Unfortunately the weather didn't cooperate
and thunderstorms with heavy winds didn't let us get to much sailing in. Congratulations
to Kyle Ross who won the Zig Zag open regatta.
BOOT Camp and Big Bird Classics
Another thank you goes to the Cox family at Pelican Yacht Club who put on a
wonderful BOOT Camp for our developmental Optimist sailors. As always Chef Mike
spoiled us with the best food ever. For the results of the Big Bird Classics

Racing Camp and Victoria Beach open regatta
The Racing Camp at Victoria Beach Yacht Club was once again organized single-handedly
by the McMorris family. A big thank you especially to Penny for feeding all
these hungry little sailors. Thanks also to Louis Philippe Bougie Bastien who
coached the 29ers and, with the help of Garry Albo, put on a windsurfing clinic
on the weekend. With more then 15 people registered the clinic was a huge success
and the next one is already in the planning for next year. For the results of

Power Smart Manitoba Games Qualifiers

of our teams are elected. Every region was able to qualify a full
team with alternates in place. Great job everybody. Keep in touch
with your coaches, managers and advisers for the Games to find
out where and when there will be practice times set up.
5. Qualifier for the Norman Region at the Precambrian Yacht Club
Strong winds at the Norman regional event but we managed to get two
races in. The kids were keen which was very impressive considering they
were beginners. A big thank you to David Price and his crew for organizing
a great event.

Female category - Jocelyn Tyson and Shanna Fisher
Coach - Tanis Markham-Werbicki

6. Qualifier for the Westman Region at the Pelican Yacht Club
Perfect wind at the Westman regional event. With
16 boats on the start line we had no problems to sail 6 races. The
level of competition was the highest in the province yet. We
had even two sailors coming from the Norman Region, two from Parkland,
two from Interlake, one from Winnipeg and one from Central to train
towards the Games. Thanks to Michael and his crew for organizing
this qualifier!
Congratulations to the Westman Team:
