A New Look for the BCA Member Directory

The 2026 edition of the Bluewater Cruising Association (BCA) Member Directory has arrived in mailboxes from Vancouver Island to Calgary to Ontario and beyond – have you received your copy?  If not, you might want to contact BCA’s Administrator, Amanda Lance, to ensure your membership and mailing address are up-to-date.

If you have taken a look through the Directory you will have noticed a number of changes.  First and most obviously, the Directory is only 8.5″ x 5.5″ (half the size of  previous directories) and should fit far more conveniently on boat bookshelves and in cockpit cubbies.

The Directory still has a “Front End” and “Back End”.

As always, the Front End focuses on who is doing what to support your Association (Board of Directors and Chapter Watchkeepers) and refers you to the website for more details on job descriptions, services and awards. A new section (pp 8-9) has been added to introduce the many new BCA members in the past year.

The Back End has slimmed down significantly. We’ve dropped separate “Sorts” for Where Moored, Boat Type and Yacht Club Affiliation. All information has either been re-sorted into the “Member Roster” and the “Boat Roster” or can be found in the Member Search on the website.

The Directory team (Rhonda Schuller, Jennifer Handley, Donna Sassaman and Cathy Norrie) hopes these changes keep the details you are most curious about and use most, conveniently at hand.  If you have any comments or questions about the new format or content, please send us an email.

And as you flip through the Directory, please take a minute to check your own listing and, if applicable, that of your partner and/or boat. If your information or that of your partner or boat is out-of-date or incomplete, please update your profiles and your sub-accounts on the BCA website (log-in, click on Manage Profile in the right rail and Edit Bio) or email your changes to Amanda.

BCA Member Directory Advertisers

BCA is very appreciative of the marine industry businesses who purchased advertising in this year’s Directory.  In another first, the most noticeable change is that the inside front and back cover ads are in colour. Thanks to Nello Angerilli, our outgoing Advertising Watchkeeper, for his dedicated efforts to secure this advertising for BCA.

Should you have the opportunity to support these businesses, please identify yourself as a BCA member and say “thank you”.
