This will be our third such annual event, which we’ve dubbed the Canadian Melonseed Classic. It will be held over 3 days, Saturday, July 16th through Monday, July 18th, at the Hudson Yacht Club, located on the shores of the Lake of Two Mountains just west of Montreal. It is one of the most casually organized events you’re likely to attend, intended to bring widely scattered Melonseed sailors together for a few days of catch-as-one-can sailing and relaxation. To be clear, any racing that takes place is strictly limited to the imaginations of the skippers who may or may not be involved.
The HYC has great facilities, including its harbour, spacious grounds, club house, pool, showers, snack bar and, best of all, a sandy beach on which we store our boats and from which we launch and sail as the mood strikes us. The club permits camping on the point overlooking the beach. The Club is located a few steps from the village of Hudson, a pretty, quiet place with good restaurants and grocery supplies within walking distance.
