Background on the Arichat Cup
The first Arichat Cup sponsored by the Isle Madame Boat Club was
held in
1993 and provided an opportunity for IMBC members and members from
local
Yacht Clubs to participate in a Canadian Yachting Association
sanctioned
yacht race.
The first few races were held under the direction of CYA Judge and
race
organizer John Pope. The Club provided a committee boat and a race
committee to assist Mr Pope in the performance of his duties. After
John
Pope's retirement, the IMBC Rear-commodore with the assistance of an
IMBC race committee managed the Arichat Cup.
The race has traditionally had its start/finish line adjacent to the
Isle Madame Boat Club which provided excellent viewing from both
sides
of Arichat Habour. From the starting line the boats would head out
into
Chedabucto Bay and after rounding some navigation buoys would return
to
Arichat Harbour and the finish line.
For the past number of years, the Arichat Cup has
been an in-harbour 16 mile
race making it an exiting close quarter race with lots of tactics
and maneuvering which provides a good show for the spectators who
are
able to follow the race from both sides of Arichat Harbour.
Always a good race with lots of steady winds, the Arichat Cup
provides a venue for boaters to develop their sailing skills.
The race has always been part of a weekend party (Rendezvous)which
includes good food and drink. Some boaters come just for the party.
A very important part of this annual event is the camaraderie
demonstrated between IMBC and all the neighbouring yacht clubs.
Good friends sharing a good time..... before and after the starting
gun.
