races, Quinte Quest Regatta for Optis and Lasers, and the Katie
Gray Race. Let's not forget the radio-controlled sailboat racing
with the strict mini 12 class boats (one metre high and six kilos)
running May to October.
This year marks the 50th running of the Katie Gray Race, for
which there is much competition. The race runs at the end of
the summer from Belleville to Picton, where the bay narrows
and spectating from the shore is a bonus. Forty boats competed
last year and the BQYC hopes to get 75 entries for the 50th
anniversary. The race was named for the yacht Katie Gray,
which was again designed by Captain Alexander Cuthbert in
1875. At only 27 feet in length, she weighed ten tons and carried
2,000 lbs. of moveable Quinte boulders. As you can imagine,
there was an army of young men that transferred those rocks
from the leeward to the windward side when she tacked! The
Katie Gray sailed the waters of Lake Ontario for 62 years and
brought home considerable hardware. It was rumoured that fairly large sums of money were won and lost on her results over the
years. Although she sank sometime after 1910, she was later
raised after her ballast was removed, ending her career on the
Napanee River in the late 1930s.
In the true spirit of sailors that will race in just about any
conditions when it comes to continuing with tradition, the Katie
Gray was raced in 2010 in the aftermath of hurricane force
winds. According to the organizer, Andy Thomson, with winds
sustained at 35 knots, one boat sank on the start line after an
accidental jibe and another boat had to be pulled off the rocks
by a truck when she went aground. Although only 10 out of the
30 boats who started actually finished, it sure made for great stories of equipment carnage and bravado at the Long Reach Bar
after the race!
Why not see what the race is all about and join in on the fun!
