Cadboro Bay Sailing Association

CBSA Race

Feb 6, 2017

If you live in the Victoria BC area and are planning your activities for the spring and summer and want to find out if sailing’s for you, then there is a terrific dinghy club in Cadboro Bay.

The mandate of the Cadboro Bay Sailing Association is to provide open access to recreational sailing at an affordable cost. With the support of the District of Saanich they are able to provide access to those who otherwise may not have the means to get out on the water.

They are an open community of dinghy sailors who operate the club on a volunteer basis. They welcome new membership applications. They are not strictly a racing club either – They are a dinghy club first and many of the members sail regularly but do not race.

If you are interesting in getting out on the water with the Cadboro Bay Sailing Association I encourage you to join, and add you name to the crew list and/or get on the waiting list for boat storage.

For more information on what the club is about please contact the club at membership@caddybay.ca or drop by on a Tuesday evening as we are heading out for a race this Spring.

Baltic Odyssey

“Did you sail all the way … from Canada?” My husband, David, and I were asked that question dozens of times as we circumnavigated the Baltic Sea during the summer of 2005. As people strolled by to see our port of origin, they’d spy the maple-leaf ensign and immediately strike up a conversation. Canada is popular in the Baltic; being Canadian is a first-class calling card.

Jeanneau Yachts 55

Throw away the box, this is some fresh thinking

Seemingly part sailboat and part spaceship, the new Jeanneau Yachts 55 just busted through the boundaries of traditional yacht design. I couldn’t take my eyes off the bubble hardtop that met me at the dock and I stepped aboard with trepidation. A few hours later, I was planning how to spend my not-yet-won lottery winnings.

Paving the Way to Cleaner Boating – How a Commitment to Reducing our Environmental Impact is Inspiring Cleaner Boating in Ontario

By Dave Rozycki

Over the past seven decades, Ontario’s marina industry has developed alongside some of Canada’s largest freshwater lakes. Boaters have been able to enjoy the beautiful scenery and create lasting memories on the water, with certain marinas dating back to the 1960s. As we reflect on this rich history, we can begin to see trends in how our footprint may have had an effect on the environment, in not-so-positive ways. However, by embracing innovative solutions and adopting sustainable practices, both marinas and boaters hold the key to preserving and enhancing the quality of our lakes and marine life for generations to come.
