Redpath Toronto Area Hospice Regatta 2014 - Stampede wins J/22 Provincials.(Toronto, ONT)- This year’s Redpath Toronto Area Hospice Regatta was again hosted by the National Yacht Club along the beautiful Toronto waterfront. An excellent turnout of 46 boats not only assured the Toronto Area Hospice excellent fund-raising but also fun competition and camaraderie amongst the sailors in the six fleets in attendance. The event also marked the J/22 Ontario Provincial Championship.

The sailors were blessed with three straight days of good weather and light to moderate winds. Taking advantage of their light-air speed was Jeff Love’s crew aboard the J/22 Stampede. Starting off with three bullets, the 'Stampeders' never looked back, amassing three more bullets and a third on their way to a convincing win in the J/22 Provincials, counting just nine points in seven races! Behind them in second place was Stephen Jones, counting a two-two-six-one-three-three-two for 19 points and in third was Geoff Bayne’s crew on Three’s Company scoring a nine-three-three-two-two-four-three for 26 points total. The balance of the top five was taken by Oleg Koubrak’s Bess in fourth and David Doyle’s Innocent Bystander in fifth.

The J/70s and J/80s sailed in a combined fleet with Bart Smit’s J/80 Nautical Symphony taking the honors with a total of 12 points after eight races. Second was Scott Weakley’s J/70 Rex with 20 points and third was Lawrence Alexander’s J/80 Jiggers. Fourth was Ali Bilgen’s J/70 ICE-3 and fifth was Eric Jacob’s J/80 Uqilajuq. Event website
