Sailing club opens for summer fun James Lee CFSA

Canadian Forces Sailing Association’s Opening Day is the most celebrated event to a sailor in the yacht club. It marks the opening of sailing season after a harsh winter. Skippers clean up their boats and volunteers make the clubhouse look presentable to show off to guests. They also “Dress” the club and their boats with all the flags they can muster. It is a moment of pride and joy for club members. This year’s Opening Day, the club’s 71st, was April 28 - a full day event starting with a light reception at lunch time, followed by a ceremony, sail past, and then awards and presentation in the evening. Representatives from other clubs and organizations such as Royal Victoria Yacht Club and Swiftsure Committee were present. The Reviewing Officer from CFB Esquimalt was Commander Jonathan Kouwenberg. He and the Commodore of CFSA, LCdr Chris Maier addressed club members and guests during the cer- emony. Naden Band Quintet and the Sea Cadet Corps lent helping hands in making the ceremony more beautiful and enjoyable with music and a flag hoist. For the sail past, 33 participating boats sailed into Esquimalt harbour and past the Commodore to pay respects and receive blessing by the Padre. This year, the Commodore and the Reviewing Officer anchored in Esquimalt Harbour to receive respects onboard the Commodore’s boat, SV Argyle. The reviewing boat was followed by the Rear-Commodore Lt(N) James Lee’s vessel, SV Star Trek, which embarked the Padre and a team of judges for the sail past. This year’s sail past was special as STVs Goldcrest and Tuna, two sister boats, sailed together in the same waters for the first time. They are two of the same class of boats – CS36 – and both named after Her Majesty’s Canadian Ships from the First World War. Opening day came to a close in the evening with awards and presentations. Awards were given out to the Best Dressed Ship, Best Dressed Crew and the Best Sail Past. Judges marked the Best Sail Past based on the uniformity of crew, and extra points were given if they used a Bosun’s call, dipped their ensign, used a spinnaker, or luffed their foresail as a part of the sail past. This year’s winners were: Farr Out for the Best Dressed Boat, Second Star with the Best Dressed Crew, and Jaguar took the prize for the Best Sail Past. There were many other honourable mentions and door prizes.
