The Basil Hobbs Memorial Snake Island Nanaimo (SIN) Regatta 2018

Friday, June 29 to Sunday, July 1 at the Nanaimo Yacht Club, Nanimo, 400 Newcastle Ave,

Our SIN Regatta offers great racing, serious fun, fantastic value, and a GREAT way to celebrate Canada's birthday.

• Racers will have divisions and courses tuned for different boats.
• A Cruiser/Racer division is planned for boats that are not fully race prepared and crewed, but want to participate in a race regatta (no PHRF rating certificate needed for this division only).
• One-designs are welcome! Multihulls and faster monohulls will have new course options this year, we may even have a long-distance courses around Halibut Bank.

Come for the Party... race for the halibut!
