Our first anchoring clinic for cruising boats was held on July 14, and we were pleasantly amazed by the turnout. Teams from 16 boats enjoyed the technical presentation on how, where and when to anchor. Thanks to NSC volunteers Rick Anderton, John Moss, Rick Nelson, and local expert Ken Aalders, who together created and delivered…
Two of the most entertaining NSC events go on the same weekend in mid-August: Midnight Madness evening of August 16, and Harbourmaster’s Race August 17. And wait, there’s more! More boating events in August, that is.
Thank-you to our volunteers Adam and Kathryn, who diligently engaged a significant number of NSC keelboat owners. The excellent news is that they already knew their dock neighbour. So the feedback is that we do not need to promote a special day, because NSC club fellowship is strong. Therefore, we won’t run this experimental event.
Boating, sailing and racing at NSC are in full swing. Fleet claims credit for the warm and windy June and July weather. There are 2 race courses on Lac Deschenes run for you (and by you), 4 nights a week, and turnout is on par with 2018. NOD had a reasonable turnout and an average…
Is your dock like ours, with all kinds of interesting people and their boats? Have you met them? Have you had a chance to sail with them? To tie in with our club’s 40th anniversary, NSC introduces a new informal event, SWAN. It’s a time to meet your dock neighbours, talk boats and go sailing.
Your first chance to enjoy an up-river cruise in company of other boats, with a goal. A 15 nautical mile race to Pinhey’s Point and back, Sunday June 23, starting at noon. Part H of the sailing instructions has all the details.
Amendment 1 to the Sailing Instructions has now been posted. The Spring Series for PHRF Divisions 1, 2 & 3 have been cancelled. This only affects Tuesday evening racing. Given that all PHRF racing up to this point has been cancelled, it did not make sense to have a Spring Series that would consist of…
The BYC gates did not come out Tuesday, as planned; they are now scheduled for removal on Friday, June 14. Thus, the Thursday Ice Breaker Series continues for June 13. If the gates do not come out by Thursday, the Womens race on Monday, June 17, will be a practice race. Expectation is that the…
The 200+ sailors at our premiere event need you. We know that NSC members and friends will respond. NOD is June 14-16 with a large turnout. We need additional volunteers: 10 for on-water Race Committee, 3 for registration-table, 6 for yard, 1 yard coordinator. We also need additional power boats for on-water support.
For keelboats racing at the Nepean One Design regatta and support power boats, NOD has block-booked timeslots at the cranes to launch your boats Friday evening and early Saturday morning, and haulout Sunday. So if you are not launched yet, or you are a visitor, we’ve got you covered. For details see NOD website.
