West Vancouver Yacht Club’s race hits milestone year
The 45th Annual Southern Straits Classic is set for March 29-31, 2013. The West Vancouver Yacht Club (WVYC) is making preparations to host its Annual Southern Straits Classic for the 45th time. The Easter Weekend racing tradition will see sailors criss-crossing Georgia Strait testing their strategy, skill, and endurance while racing overnight in early season conditions.
The Classic Short, Medium, and Long courses range from 55 to 132 nautical miles. The race committee has redesigned the Medium course, eliminating the leg from Ballenas Is. to Entrance Is., opening it up to new tactics for racers.
New this year is the introduction of an inshore course to be conducted in daylight hours. This course is designed for sport boats or teams that may not be ready for the full Straits experience but are looking for a challenge outside English Bay.
*Register before Friday, February 15th to receive a 10% discount on registration fees. *
**Register before Sunday, March 3rd to be entered in the Early Bird Prize Draw. **
WVYC is inviting all racers to participate in this challenging yachting tradition.
The races will take place over the weekend of March 29th -31st, 2013.
Starting sequences will begin at 10:25 a.m.
