'Sailing Championships Held By Oshawa By GEO. H. CAMP6ELL lie Sports Editor Up around Lake Rousseau, Balsam Lake and other Mus- koka Lake summer vacation areas, the name of Jack Lang- maid is as familiar to the cot- tagers of that district as is the name of Sandy Koufax, to a baseball fan or Bobby Hull, to a hockey enthusiast. Here, in his home city, Jack Langmaid is more readily recognized as Dr. Jack Lang- maid, dentist and _ probably, other. than his close friends and associates, few of the local folk, outside of the large community of Oshawa residents who have established quite a summertime community, in the Muskoka Lake area, have heard of his outstanding skill and success as '"'a sailor'. When they wound up the sum- mer's program of sailing and racing activities, a few weeks ago, on Lake Rousseau, Dr. Jack Langmaid, his wife Ruth and their son, Bob, combined to capture the Canadian and The North American Albacore Sailing Championship. This isn't the first year that "Doctor Jack'? has won this honor, nor, for that matter, is he the only Oshawa resident to have won the big annual Alba- core race, on Lake Rousseau. Back in 1961, Jack Langmaid tied 'Bill' Gooderham, of To- ronto, Canada's : well - known Olympic Games representative, for first place. Last year, he was second to Don and Ella Griffen, of the Shadow Lake Sailing Club. This year, the Griffens were runners-up to Dr. Jack, Ruth and Bob. The "Lang- maids" also represent The Shadow Lake Club. In 1963, "Dick" and Peter Mc- Laughlin' captured the top honors. Adding. razor-sharp keenness to the enthusiastic competition, as far as Oshawa residents are concerned, is the fact that the premier award is_ especially coveted, the trophy being The John G. Feikie Trophy, donated by another well - known Oshawan. This year's championships were sailed under very unfavor- able conditions, of light, vari- able winds, as well as rain and fog. The 106 boats entered were divided into "A" and "B'"' class- es, based on past performances at this annual regatta. Due to the lack of wind, only three of a crear en the scheduled five races were completed. Sailing in "A" Class, Jack Langmaid skippered his craft to fifth place and two firsts, in the three races, to capture the top honors. Skipper Langmaid's ability to read the light, shifting winds to perfection, proved the deciding factor in his triumph. Winning the Albacore Cham- pionship, was a fine climax to a great season of success, for Jack Langmaid. During the sail- ing year he also captured The Balsam Lake Invitational Re- gatta, The Conestoga Regatta, The Ashbridge's Bay Regatta and also the yearly and invita- ™ HIS HAPPY GROUP of Osh- awa residents, proudly display their trophies, following their outstanding success in the sea- son's big closing regatta, at Other Oshawa "'sailors'" con- ducted themselves with distinc- tion in the Albacore Champion- ships.

The The Bastedos sailed extreme- ly well, all that weekend and finished runners-up to Doug Mathews, of Roche's Point Sail- ing Club. Included in the large contin- gent of Oshawa sailors who par- ticipated, in this fifth Albacore Championship, were Dr. John Anderson, of this city, who placed 7th in the "A"' Class fleet with a good performance. Langmaids won The John G. Geike Trophy, as Canadian and North American Albacore Sail- ing champions, while The Bas- tedos finished second in the "B'"' class. "Dick" McLaughlin, Peter McLaughlin, Tom Johnson and Brian Hare, all of Oshawa, rep- resented The Muskoka Lakes Sailing Club.
