Anne Armstrong sailed to a strong victory in the 7-boat B Division, with racing across two days on September 3&4. There was a solid breeze for the start of all 8 races, and Anne pulled off 8 perfect (albeit occasionally nail-biting) starts at the inshore end of the line. The regatta organizers did a great job hosting the event, and in 2023 it's the 100th anniversary of the regatta, so there should be an even bigger turnout. Anne's Team consisted of her husband, Gary, Fran Steacy, and Michael Clements.
Nice work Anne!

In August 2022 Joe Pratile sold Electra (hull #37) to Jean-Sebastien Levesque of Vancouver, BC. Jean-Sebastien is relatively new to sailing but is climbing quickly up the learning curve!
Electra will stay in the yard at KYC a yard dolly.
