Rum Race #4

Eligibility -PHRF

SNSYC has an active, year-round racing program that offers both distance and round-the-buoys racing. In the winter we race on Sundays and in warmer months we race on Wednesday evenings as well as some Sundays. In addition, we also organize the overnight Patos Island Race in the Spring, the Challenging Racing and Social Happenings (CRASH) Regatta in late Summer and participate in similar races and regattas organized by other clubs as part of the Vancouver Island Racing Series (VIRS).

Sunday Walks 

The walks always start at 1400hrs and last between 1.25 and 2 hours and are graded as to difficulty (a one booter is dead easy, a four booter is the most difficult we attempt) so you can decide if the walk is suitable for you.

Friends, relatives and dogs are more than welcome to accompany members on these walks.

Although the Sunday walks will show up on the Event Calendar, we communicate the details by email shortly before the scheduled walk.

Members - If you wish to be included on the email list, go to your “Profile Page”, scroll down to “Club Interests” and put a check mark in the “Walking” selection. (Don’t forget to save your changes)

If you think that you might want to join one of the walks, or want to find out a bit more about them, please contact Adrian Kershaw

So, join the walking group for a chance to keep up with old friends, make new ones and get some exercise in the bargain!
