Welcome to the 2024 Sailing Season

Our sailing season has begun on time. Woo-hoo!! First keelboat race May 7. First dinghy/catamaran race May 15. First Social Day-Cruising June 7.

Our highly-skilled race bosun staff are all aboard and gearing up. Our operations volunteers and race officials are extremely well organized. The harbour team has delivered great facilities as our base.

Everything is now set for the largest sail race program in North America, plus outstanding club cruising opportunities.

We just need you

Want to race?  Register for racing (mandatory 2 weeks before your first race), sign-up for race committee duty (mandatory for racers, everyone else also welcome), read the race sailing instructions, post on crew bank and come to our race practice evenings.

Want to cruise with other sailors? Sign up for Social Day-Cruising events, post on crew bank.

Want to simply enjoy boating? Go past the lighthouse, leave the bifurcation mark to port, and then hang a left. And for goodness sake, read the charts and keep off the rocks.
