Melges 24
By Tracy Ubell, SunCruiser Boating
June sees some exciting racing taking place, including the Canadian and World sailing championships at the 2018 Melges 24 in Victoria, and the SIN Regatta in Nanaimo. Dragon boat races, as well, are happening throughout the month in Vancouver, Penticton and Victoria. Plan your day around an event near you, and get in on the excitement that these races bring to all involved - whether spectator or participant.
As in the past, I've gathered information for boating events and festivals taking place all over BC, but locating these events on the www can be hit and miss, so I'm asking for your help. If you have, or know of, a boat show or festival coming up this summer, send us the details and we will add it to our event calendar.
