Sailors from the North Okanagan Sailing Association, the Surrey Sailing Club, the Sunshine Coast Sailing Association and the Hollyburn Sailing Club participated.

This year, there were 26 boats in two fleets. All clubs had at least one boat placing first, second or third in one of the fleets.

The Naramata Mug is awarded to the overall winner of the combined fleets. This year’s winner and defending champion was Austin Steward from Hollyburn in a Laster.

John van Woerkom from Surrrey won the general handicap fleet category.

The next major event for the South Okanagan Sailing Association is the Wayfarer Weekend, to be held Aug. 26 and 27.
