Vancouver Club Night: Singlehanded to the Hawaiian Islands

A taste of offshore sailing in a summer cruise

Thinking of sailing offshore, but not sure you’re quite ready for the excitement of Cape Horn?  Wondering if you really need a big new boat with all the latest gear?  Want to make sure the reality matches your dreams before you set off on that circumnavigation?

… Then come and hear how you can get a genuine taste of offshore sailing in an extended summer cruise from Vancouver.  In 2012 Patrick Dickie sailed his old Spencer 35 Kismet II to Hawaii and spent a couple of months cruising through the islands before returning home.  Along the way he learned that summer passages in the Pacific can provide plenty of excitement, you don’t need a big new boat after all, and offshore sailing truly is an incredible experience!
