Ken Holland Takes on Another Winter Project Boat
SOLD to Ken Holland on August 11 by Zak Grove, only 5 hours after it was listed: Hull 7 (Frostration, Arrow Lake, Castlegar, BC) for about CDN$2500. Ken's current boat, hull 12 (Blackadder) is now up for sale.
With a dark blue hull, Frostration came with:
- 5HP Mercury Fourstroke SailPower outboard ~50 hours
- Main sail and roller furling jib and covers
- Spinnaker with launching bag and spin pole
- Lifejackets, anchor and rode
- Cassette toilet, spare parts, paddles etc.
The deal did not include a trailer, and the boat needs to be fully-measured, but Allan Strain thinks it is his old boat that had a good keel put on it by Don Martin in 1985.
The 2024 North American Championships were held in Cowichan Bay on Vancouver Island this year on the August long weekend, and sailed in perfect conditions of 8-14 knots of breeze.
Mike George of Los Angeles on "All In" put on a master class in speed and tactics to top the competitive fleet of 21 boats, with RVYC's Michael Clements and Team (Adrienne Mennell - RVYC, Alan Barnes, Colin Gilbert) on "Too Wicked" in 2nd overall and Bob Britten/Jose Grandizo of Royal Vic YC on "No Worries" in 3rd.
This was Mike George's 5th NA's win, and Michael Clements has won it 4 times.
