The 2022 Mazinaw Cup has been awarded to a pair of solo sailors, one from the keelboat fleet and one from the dinghy fleet.  This year's recipients are Ab Bertrand and Murray Russell.

Ab hails from the Ottawa River and had trailered his Sandpiper 565 to Mazinaw Lake.  He was one of the first off the dock for Sail Mazinaw and logged the most miles of any boat in the fleet on that day.

Murray has sailed his International 14s on Mazinaw Lake for decades, but had to retire one of his high performance dinghies due to extreme damage received during the windstorm in May.  The Albacore he had been sailing was also damaged, but Murray continues to sail on his neighbours' Petrel and can be spotted on the lake most days with a breeze. 

Please join the Mazinaw fleet in congratulating these fine sailors.
