YCCC was represented this year on Raisin River by 4.5 canoes; the half canoe means that only one paddler in the tandem canoe was a YCCC member. Our results were great and we know that our Executive will be pleased when they discuss it on their next meeting :-) We participated in following recreational classes:

Men’s tandem (77 canoes):
5th place Mike Miller & Thomas Miller, time 2:52:35

Mixed tandem (37 canoes, and the most competitive class this year):
5th place Dot Bonnenfant & Bill Pollock, time 2:44:38
6th place Lynette Chubb & Lester Kovac, time 2:50:24
7th place Lauren Rosene & Jon Andrews, time 2:53:37

Family (20 canoes)
6th place Miranda Brethour & Anthony Brethour, time 3:30:05

Overall (213 boats):
16th place Dot Bonnenfant & Bill Pollock, time 2:44:38
19th place Lynette Chubb & Lester Kovac, time 2:50:24
23rd place Mike Miller & Thomas Miller, time 2:52:35
25th place Lauren Rosene & Jon Andrews, time 2:53:37
