Come to this season’s first BCA Tour of Bluewater Boats Saturday, October 20 at the Vancouver Rowing Club in Stanley Park. If you are a member of the BCA Fleet, are getting ready to go offshore, or just want to gather tips on outfitting a cruising yacht, you don’t want to miss this event! The boats available to tour include:
- String Theory (Beneteau 47), owned by John Mortimer, won First Division in the 2016 Vic-Maui Race with a crew of ten.
- The Fugitive (forty-foot Farr), owned by Ben Rummen, sailed to Frisco this summer to join the Pacific Cup Race to Hawaii.
- L’Ange (Beneteau 42), owned by John Blair, has explored the Sea of Cortez for several years.
Tours will start at the Vancouver Rowing Club gate, lower left of the Clubhouse, at 1400h sharp. Paid parking is available on the street or in the Stanley Park public parking lot. After the boat tours, all are invited to the Club bar to continue the conversation.
This is a great opportunity to meet skippers aboard their yachts, learn how they prepared their boat for going offshore and pick up some new ideas for your own offshore experience.
Please RSVP to Ian Cameron [1], so we have an idea of attendees.
Note: The BCA would like to offer more tours of a wide variety of offshore cruising boats over the next few months. If you would like to host a tour of your bluewater boat, please contact Ian Cameron [1].
