Message From The Editor
Outstanding! Congratulations on a job well done!
After the most exhausting, hazard-ridden madness imaginable, our Canadian Olympic sailors are back home safe sound and proud.

All six of our entries hit it out of the park; medals are nice but we don’t require them to appreciate the remarkable accomplishment.
Not only were the games delayed a year, held against a backdrop of a pandemic and an unbearably hot Japanese summer, our sailors had a duffel bag, make that five duffel bags full of other obstructions.
