Welcome to the Canadian Y-Flyer Yacht Racing Association (CYFYRA)
HISTORY
The first Y-Flyer was built in Canada in the winter of 1941 in Montreal, Quebec. This boat was built from plans shown in Wooden Rudder Magazine by Alvin Youngquist out of Ohio. Within a short time the boat became very popular in Canada.
By 1946, the CYFYRA was formed as the result of it's popularity. Fleets blossomed in Montreal and Hudson, Quebec. By 1952 fleets appeared in Deep River, Cornwall, Brockville. By the early 1960's fleets were established in Sudbury, Hamilton, London, Ontario, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Calgary and Edmonton, Alberta.
The CYFYRA is currently on it's third generation of sailors. We have Y-Flyers from the Bay of Fundy, Nova Scotia to Prince Rupert, British Columbia to Yellowknife, Yukon.
