VI South Hybrid Club Night: To Sail the Northwest Passage

In 2022, BCA members Jamie Cox and Lorrainne Dixon, and Ged McLean were awarded the Royal Victoria Yacht Club Conconi Plaque for Exceptional World Cruising Achievement as the first RVYC boat to transit the Northwest Passage.

Ged, the enthusiastic crew member, will share stories and photos of massive salmon fishing fleets and Kodiak Grizzlies in Alaska, difficult passages through the Bering and Chukchi Seas, the challenge of pack ice and icebergs on either side of the continent and the wonderful people along the way, a 7,000nm journey that can only be described as a trip of a lifetime.

Jamie and Ged met while racing in 2013 and they soon discovered a shared, long-time interest in sailing the Northwest Passage. When Jamie bought Jaca, a Waterline 45, with the aim of making the trip, Ged was only too keen to lend a hand and support the effort.
