A small group, -of sportsmen, who get very little publicity are having a wonderful time on the waters of Lake Huron these fine summer week- ends, We are speaking of the Grand Bend Yacht club, With headquarters on the south side .of the river At -Grand Bend. Several meetings at the home of John Young back in the late 50's were the beginning of the formation of a club for sailing boat en- thusiasts. Incorporated ill 1959, the club has been. growing ever sinee. Six of the original charter members are still active in the group of almost 40, They are John. Wagter, William Duffield, A. F. Hunter, Dr, Harvey Cowen and Dr. Toogood .along with Young. A club house was purchased from the Grand Bend chamber of Commerce and assembled on the south side of the river road in the fall of 1960 to provide a meeting place for members. Weekly Sunday morning sailing races are being staged throughout the summer. A handicap system is used to decide a win- ner. Race committee chairman, F/L Don William- son of RCAF Centralia, is also in charge of the handicapping, The handicaps are calculated on each 100 minutes of sailing time in previous races and are revised monthly. This method of deciding a winner must be used since several types of boats are used, Cata- marans or "cats" can usually complete a course in faster time than a cruiser or midget raving class craft. CIVIC HOLIDAY REGATTA The big event for the Grand Bend club will be the staging of the Ontario Sailing Cata- maran Association Regatta, over the Civic Holi- day weekend. Four races, one Saturday, two Sunday and a final Monday will be open to "cats", with the skipper compiling the best over-all record being declared Ontario champ. Williamson hopes to have at least 12 en- tries from other sailing clubs in the province with probably the same amount from the host club, The Ontario event a year ago was held at the Queen's City Yacht Club in Toronto with Young and the present Commodore Dr. Jerry Copestakes competing. Membership in the organization costs the individual $15 per year in addition to a$10 initial fee. The club leases about 450 feet of shore moorings from the Village of Grand Bend and in turn rents spaces to members. Prominent local members of the club are Dr. Harvey Cowen and Ivan Hunter-Duvar, last year's commodore. From RCAF Centralia, in ad- dition to Williamson comes another enthusiastic skipper, S/L Andy Anderson. A junior division of the club is in opera- tion and under the direction of Clayton Gal- lienne of London. About 14 youngsters, boys and girls, ranging in, age from 8 to 14 meet each Sat- urday afternoon for a two and one-half hour training session. The lessons, conducted both in the club rooms and on the water, begin with the basic rudiments of sailing. Next comes teaching of the simple and popular marine knots and mastery of nautical terms. In order to join the minor organization, each member-to-be must have written permis- sion from his or her parents. While undergoing actual training in a sail- boat, each participant must wear a life jacket re- gardless of swimming abilities. The youngsters are taught the rules and etiquette of the "road" and take their turn in an 8-foot single sail craft known as a "pram". Each boat must be equipped with a pad- dle and . a bailer. This year's junior members come from Grand Bend. Exeter, Centralia. Hensall and Lon- don. The final junior race will be held the \week- end of August 3 with a trophy .to be presented to the winner of the season's activity. In Sunday's race, L Williamson in his highlander craft, "The Tam-O-Shanter" covered. the six-mile course in rather choppy waters in 52 minutes and 6 seconds. The actual winner under the handicap system, finishing only a few seconds behind the Centralia skipper, was Ken Dunsford of St. Marys. Dunsford was directing his 16-foot Alba- core type of boat. This past weekend we took a closer look at the activities of the enthusiastic group of senior sailors by joining Mr, Gallienne and his daughter Susanne on their fine cruiser, the "Edythe", as they competed in the weekly event. Gallienne, native of the ChanneII Islands, is a member of the Canadian Power Squadron. . Due possibly to the extra passenger, our craft was a little off course when the starter's gun was fired and we set a starting line of our own. Although our craft was disqualified early, it was very interesting to watch an efficient crew cope with the waves and the inconsistency of the winds. .. The "Edythe" was imported from Holland and is especially built to go into shallow waters. A pair of bilge keels are ballasted right from the bottom with 3S0' pounds on each keel. .'yo would like to thank Clay Gallienne, Don Williamson and other members of the Bend yachting Club for the courtesy extended to US during our short stay.
