LADY VAN TAKES 3RD IN CLASS AT LES VOILES DE ST. TROPEZ Sailing against Q Class, 8 meters and other faster boats, Lady Van sailed well in conditions suited to her. A third place podium finish (and a nice crystal vase) was a nice finish to the European adventure. Lady Van will arrive home on November 27. ______________________________________________________ LADY VAN CONTINUES HER TOUR OF THE CLASSIC REGATTAS OF THE MED After outings in Imperia, Nice, and Cannes, Lady Van arrived in St. Tropez on Sep 30. The world famous Les Voiles de St. Tropez will see Lady Van compete on the same waters as J boats "Shamrock V" and "Valsheda", a number of classic 12-metres, the uber-modern Wally Centuro fleet, and a host of classic boats from the massive "Cambria" (with the world's largest wooden mast), to the diminutive Solent Sunbeam "Dainty"; as well as a huge fleet of ultramodern sportboats. _________________________________________________________ DON MARTIN INDUCTED INTO BC SPORTS HALL OF FAME At a gala ceremony on Sep 21, Don Martin was inducted into the BC Sport Hall of Fame for his long-standing contributions to sailing as a sailor, boat builder, international judge and measurer, and coach and mentor to paralympic sailors. ________________________________________________________Information
