Shepherd Regatta Results & Upcoming Winter/Spring Regattas

2017 Shepherd Regatta

CYC Opti sailors brave the cold weather at the 2017 Shepherd Regatta!

We had a brrrrilliant time at the Shepherd regatta last weekend! CYC had a strong showing with 5 sailors in RWB and 8 sailors in Green fleet. Our team learned the importance of keeping a sharp mental focus when it’s cold. (Temperatures were in the 30's on Saturday and in the lower 40's on Sunday with consistent rain!) This regatta was a great way to finish the fall season with top finishes in both fleets. Way to go team!
