A Wish List Looking for Champions!

DSA Victoria

July 11, 2017

As a follow-up to a recent article in this newsletter about the Disabled Sailing Association at the Canadian Forces Sailing Association Yacht Club, I asked the instructor, Jamie Hargreaves, “if she had a wish list, what would it be?”

Jamie put together her list and now I’m putting out the challenge to the boating community in the Victoria, Saanich, Oak Bay and Esquimalt to put together teams, take a look at the list and figure out which part of the list are you best suited to take on.

Let Jamie be your contact at dsavictoria.summer@gmail.com or call 250-812-8467

The Whitsunday Islands

By Mathew Channer

On my first day as a commercially registered yacht captain, I sailed a Fontaine Pajot 38 catamaran from mainland Australia across the Whitsunday Passage to the western shores of the world-famous Whitsunday islands.

We cruised northeast on a 15-knot beam reach… perfect catamaran sailing conditions, watching the hazy shapes of the islands colourize and morph into crescent beaches, jungled ridgelines and rocky outcrops.
