About the Speakers:
Larisa Fry has race experience on Sharks, J- 24 and 35, and her own C & C 35 MK II. She competed in world events in both J and Shark class boats and was Ontario South Shore Champion. She has been race chair, and PHRF measurer for Dalhousie Yacht Club (forgive her, she did not choose to be from Ontario). When asked what is so great about boats? Her simple reply is “boats cannot tell age or sex- they level the playing field.”
Randall Walford’s early sailing was on Georgian Bay. Following a long hiatus and a move west, he cruises on a sloop he rebuilt while landlocked. He enjoys discovering new destinations, meeting fellow sailors, and adding to his skills and knowledge in local waters.
