Join the Vancouver Chapter in person or via Zoom for an evening of stories about a small sailboat in Northern Europe.
“After several seasons in the Mediterranean, we were longing for some cooler weather, so we began a huge journey North. After traversing Europe via its rivers and canals in our small sailboat, we emerged in The Netherlands where a whole new adventure began. From the Netherlands we sailed across the North Sea to Northern Denmark, where we entered the Limfjord — a series of saltwater bays and channels that traverse the entire country. We spent two weeks exploring rural Denmark from the water before emerging onto the other side and sailing across to Sweden. There, we were greeted with some of the most magical sailing grounds either of us have ever experienced.”
Maya is a musician, artist, filmmaker and sailor. She is the driving force behind the Sailing Magic Carpet YouTube channel [1]. A writer at heart, Maya enjoys turning real life adventures into a story that will draw you in. You can catch Maya playing her violin in beautiful anchorages, clambering along beaches with a camera slung over her shoulder, or writing down new video ideas in a weather worn notebook.
Aladino is a boatbuilder of confusing origin. Let’s say he’s Swiss, though you could also say he’s Italian, and he speaks 5 languages so he’s more or less at home anywhere in the world. He’s a professionally certified boatbuilder, and although he loves the boatshed in his heart Aladino prefers to be out on the water. He is an extremely talented sailor, freediver, and spearfisher.
Note: Payment is required for virtual attendance via Zoom – see below.

Virtual Attendees:
Virtual club nights (via Zoom) enabled BCA to continue our monthly meetings and presentations throughout the pandemic, with an added bonus of expanding our community to members and non-members across the globe. With the return to in-person meetings, BCA has continued to provide a virtual component to our club nights, as it has significant benefits to our membership. This however comes at a cost for the purchase of cameras, audio equipment and the lost revenue due to a decrease of in-person attendance used to off-set venue costs.
