Etchells North American's 2009 Photos
Sail22 was the official photographer for the 2009 Etchells North Americans in Toronto, Canada from October 16-18th hosted by the Royal Canadian Yacht Club. Check out the photos in our gallery and let us know if you are looking for anything in particular, as we have over 1,000 from the event. We’ll be working to get them sorted for searching by sail number (ie. search: USA 123) this week. Congratulations to Marvin Beckman and his team on their victory. We think our Sail22 team lunches had something to do with their win! RCYC did a great job hosting the event and we sincerely hope they host the 2014 Etchells Worlds, as we look forward to many return visits to Toronto.
