... a stiff northerly has the Canadian, American and Ontario flags (plus Y for life jackets) flying above the Wayfarer nationalities represented at the 2004 Worlds: (l to r) Canada, Denmark, the U.S., the U.K., the Isle of Man (flag acquired with great effort and diligence by John Weakley) and Norway (honoring the Jensens - Ken Sr. and Jr. - who were visiting with us after sailing the International Rally in Parry Sound)
...

And what better place than this to have Robin Albert show us
the beautiful Wayfarer scale model he has created and brought for us to enjoy!
...

a TS&CC table: (l to r) Regina Hanley, Charlie Owen, George Blanchard and Mike Codd

Also joining us briefly after a week at the International Rally (see shirt), was WIC International Secretary, Ralph Roberts who extended his Canada visit so that he could chair the WIC meeting on the Tuesday, the day we all got to enjoy meeting our new Copyright Holders' Rep., Roger Proctor (no photo alas!)

Helms and crews of the top three finishers in each race got these lovely red Worlds 2004 shirts, sponsored by Quantum Sails. Above, Roger Challis accepts from John Weakley (l), the shirts for his and Mark Johnston's 2nd-place finish in race 1.
