Past Commodore Lex Peterson inspired BCA members to “Do it and get out there while you can”, so join us on this annual rally in local waters for fun, great sailing and a little friendly competition.

BCA members of every age and experience level, on sail or power boats, are invited to enjoy seamanship, friendship and learning on this cruise that reflects our values of Community, Sharing, Adventure, Inspiration and Caring.

Bring your boat, your family or friends, a great attitude, and join this summer rally starting at the Dinghy Dock Pub in Nanaimo Harbour and ending at Port Browning on North Pender Island in time for the BCA August Rendezvous. Each day will bring new experiences as we travel from anchorage to anchorage on an itinerary we’ll develop together based on winds and weather.  Come prepared for a variety of activities and a great time. Sign up soon since participation is limited to 15 boats.

Registration is now open, with a registration fee of $10 per person to cover prizes/awards and administration expenses. Due to BCA having to prepay some expenses and Paypal costs, no refund will be available. Please note that you must be logged on to the BCA website to register for this event.

This year’s Peterson Cup is also offering t-shirts for sale which must to be ordered prior to July 10th (as part of the registration process) to allow sufficient time for production. Any ordered shirts will be provided to you at the start of the Rally.

More details will be provided as we get closer to the event.
