Small sailboat owners are invited to take part in a new regatta off the shores of Tunstall Bay.
Optimist, Laser, Laser 2 and any other two-person dinghies can join members of the Bowen Island Yacht Club’s Learn 2 Sail program and compete in the two race days, Sunday, July 26 and Sunday, August 30.
The BIYC says the regatta’s goal is to allow sailors to consolidate skills learned and enjoy friendly competition. The focus will be on learning basic racing skills and strategies, for sailors of all abilities. The BIYC has 21 spots available for its members.
Registration is $20 per sailor. If you are interested in a BIYC boat charter it’s $20 for Optimist or Laser and $30 for a Laser 2. Register at www.biyc.bc.ca
