The Hudson Yacht Club and the FruitBowl Youth Training Regatta are proud to announce CN Worldwide as the Regatta’s Title Sponsor for the second year in a row.

Over 200 sailors from the ages of 8 to 18 take part in two days of clinics followed by two days of racing. Classes include Optimist (green), Optimist (all others), Laser, Laser Radial, Byte, Byte CII, 420, 29er, and Laser >>, and for the first time this year, sailboards.

This year’s line-up of coaching talents will be as impressive as it was last year. A group of coaches with a wide international racing experience ranging across several boat categories namely the 470, Laser, Byte and 29er classes will be coaching all participants in their challenges on the water. The lead coach will again be Stephane Locas who represented Canada in the 2008 Olympics in the 470 class."Our decision to sponsor the HYC FruitBowl was an easy one," said Marie-Chantal Savoy, Director Business Development for CN WorldWide. "Just as this event has grown to become an internationally respected training regatta with the best coaches training the next-generation of world-class sailors, CN WorldWide too has become recognized as an industry leader in the transportation sector because of the expertise we bring to the table." CN WorldWide leverages their Ground Transportation trucking capabilities, an extensive network of warehousing and distribution facilities across Canada and the U.S., CN’s rail network, plus a customs brokerage service to deliver a truly comprehensive door-to-door transportation solution.
