Vancouver Island Fleet – February 2026

February 27th, 2026

This month’s Vancouver Island Fleet meeting was at the home of Werner and Sarah, Camdeboo, with 13 members attending. As we have found with other meetings, the social aspect is really important and appreciated, but we also covered more technical topics such as:

  • Issues with Victron Super Cycle batteries
  • Anchor swivels
  • Fire systems
  • Fire at Van Isle Marina

Our next meeting will be from 1300-1600h on Sunday, March 15.  Please contact the VI Fleet coordinators if you have any questions about or would like to join the VI Fleet.
