And we hope that Al will make it. He broke some ribs sailing in Edmonton at the Canadian Open and may not be fully recovered. In addition, Greg Tawaststjerna was a strong contender at last year's Masters and there is every indication he will be even stronger this year. And I thought I saw Peter Sidenburg on the list, but not any more. Did he drop out?

]]> Comment on ISAF Executive awards the 2014 ISAF Worlds to Santander, Spain. by Ron Lehman http://www.cork.org/news/isaf-executive-awards-the-2014-isaf-worlds-to-santander-spain/#comment-6 Ron Lehman Tue, 05 Jul 2011 19:24:19 +0000 http://cork.org/?p=88#comment-6 This is my first contact in many years with Laser racing. I raced from 1984 (Quebec City) to 1991 (Florida Masters) and lots in between. It was always a fun time and I miss it very much. Never won anything, probably because I started late in life (age 53) and got to race against some of the legends of Laser racing ie: Peter Seidenberg for example. Now at 79 I still enjoy bending the canvas at times. My son and I will be going to Georgian Bay this week to sail OUR lasers. At 17 he loves sailing and hopefully will take up racing some day. He uses a 1974 Laser (wooden foils) we rebuilt a few years ago, and I still sail my 1980 Laser I used racing. Have fun sailors! Nothing is better than Laser racing. Ron Lehman, Orangeville, Ontario.
