This has been a splendid PNMYC event for three years now. In 2014, the event was held for the first time at this beautiful pond where we had great racing. After the day of racing, the splendid salmon barbecue was hosted by Larry and Peter Shorett at Larry's beautiful waterfront home on the island. Larry Shorett was one of the first Seattle Yacht Club members to build a T-37. He enjoyed the boat so much, that he built a second T-37 for himself and then encouraged his son, Peter, to build his own! Larry always dreamed of having a regatta in the San Juan Islands and even though we have lost Larry, this annual event will always be in his memory. The San Juan Island Spring Regatta is just as much a social event as it is a racing event. Everyone had a great time racing, socializing and eating delicious food! Many thanks also to the owner of Sundstrom Pond who so kindly makes this private lake available to the PNMYC sailors for this special model RC sailing event!

Carl Buchan and his father, Bill, both won Olympic Gold Medals in the Los Angeles 1984 Summer Olympics in two different events. This was the first time in Olympic history that a father and son have been able to both win Olympic Gold Medals in the same year in different events. Bill Buchan is pictured in the middle of the image above and on the far right of the image below.
