Yachtsmen’s Spring Thaw Luncheon

On April 23, 2010, The Boulevard Club, one of the most sophisticated in Toronto waterfront private sports, recreation and family club, hosted the Annual Spring Luncheon for the Toronto Brigantine Inc.

The Luncheon is a long-standing, annual start-of-the season event and a fundraising vehicle organized in support of the Toronto Brigantine. It incorporates a recognition of achievements by members of the sailing community. The event was organized by Marjorie Patterson and the YSTL Committee. All attendees were long time supporters of the TBI.

All the guests were able to enjoy the presentation of Eugene Tekatch, a well-known boat and catamaran designer. Eugene was talking about various technologies and designs of sailboats and their capacity for speed and endurance.

Here are some photos from the Luncheon:
