Volunteer of the Month – Nollind van Bryce

Nollind’s work has touched on all aspects of the Glenmore Yacht Club from helping grow their youth sailing programs to establishing an inclusive free learn to sail program for active military and veterans. His devotion to growing the sport is commendable.

 

He has developed numerous events, such as the “Women, Wind, and Wine” to increase the number of women getting out on the water, the indoor sailing event in January allowing people to get on the water in the midst of winter, and is currently working to launch a pan-campus Collegiate Sailing Program. This volunteer never stops!

 

Robert Davis

Sailors gathered in Fort Lauderdale for their first event of the year. The Lauderdale Yacht Club attracted over 55 Laser sailors, battling it out over 10 races at the Lauderdale OCR event, which also served as the Canadian Pan Am qualifier in the Laser and Laser Radial classes. 

 

The four-day event brought in a variety of conditions, from breezy and wavy to light and shifty. Attracting many of our Canadian Sailing Team & Development Squad members, Robert Davis and Fillah Karim stayed on top of each other throughout the week fighting to finish at the top of the fleet. The last day of the event brought high-pressure racing as Fillah and Robert started the day only one point apart..
