Good turnout for sailpast despite rain

Sidney’s Fifth Annual Christ-
mas Sailpast was a success with
harsh winter winds staying away
and boats decorated better than in
any previous year.

Sailpast chairman Murray.
Christian was impressed with how
smooth this year’s sailpast went
and credits experienced skippers
for a good spacing between boats.

“The spacing was better this
year than it ever was before,”
Christian said. “I think the skip-
pers are getting better at running at
night.”

A total oif 76 boats registered
but 15 dropped out for various
reasons, including heavy rain late
in the afternoon. Shortly after the
6 p.m. Saturday event began, the
rain slowed somewhat as
umbrella-clad onlookers crowded
the shoreline.

“AIL the boats, even the ones
that didn’t get an honorable men-
tion, looked great,” Christian said.

“The quality of decorating on
the boats, compared to other par-
ades, was fantastic,” he said.

Winning first place overall was
the Arctic Dream, a 32-foot sloop
with a lit Christmas tree outline on
its mast, skippered by Reg Good.
He received the Pemberton
Holmes Cup.

Second prize went to Shalom IV,
a 46-foot power boat with Ed
Leippe at the helm. Third place
went to Fascination, a 70-foot
yacht dressed in red lights and
skippered by John Bailey.

Best theme went to Pamper III, a
46-foot power cruiser skippered by
Al Dore.

First runnerup was Peter
Bridge’s Pacific Pride, a 36-foot
power cruiser with lights, a Santa
and a sound system, while honora-
ble mentions-went to the Remuda
run by Henry Cote, Hulakai with
Irv Cormack at the helm and
Viking Son with Walt Hausberg at.
