PRIZES TO BE AWARDED Mews sailing race kicks off Sunday THE 10TH annual North Shore News sailing race kicks off this Sunday and boaters must get their entries in soon for this day of nautical fun and competition. Sailors of every skill level or club affiliation can participate in this event and the day’s race prom- ises great weather, fantastic sailing and fun for all. Last year 60 boats raced along the 12-mile course and the 1987 race should be better thanever be- fore, says longtime sailor and News publisher Peter Speck. The pre-race skippers’ meeting, the time when captains are briefed, has been changed from its tradi- tional spot of the Friday before the race. The pre-race skippers’ meeting this year will be held Thursday, June 18, at Jaycee House. Racers from previous years will be familiar with the course, which runs from Dundarave Pier to Point Atkinson to Point Grey then to the Kits Yacht Club. “The most beautiful way to see Vancouver is from the water,’’ observed Speck, who has been waxing his boat in preparation for the weekend’s fun family race. “It’s getting to be more than a race —- it’s almost a regatta,’’ he added. Started 10 years ago in the spirit of friendly competition, the North Shore News sailing race is one of the largest races of its kind in the province. At the News sailing race, there are no losers. ‘‘Every boat -that finishes gets a solid brass plaque.” As well as the plaques, lucky racers will receive awards from the host of fun prizes offered — from the best bribe attempt to the best decorated vessel. Skippers of all experience levels are welcome and participants do not need to be concerned with their showing — the whole idea of the race is to have fun.
