Hoist the Pub Cup for Charity

CY West Sponsors Easter Seals Regatta

Canadian Yachting West is a proud sponsor of this year’s National Bank Easter Seals Charity Regatta. This yearly fundraiser challenges skippers and crews to recruit their favourite licensed establishments to compete for bragging rights and the “Pub Cup” in the inaugural “First in Bar” race. Pubs will sponsor boats and compete to see which establishment can fundraise the most in support of Easter Seals House. Pub-sponsored boats will be scored separately as well as overall in the regatta.

Registration is now open for the regatta, hosted Saturday, July 13 by Royal Vancouver Yacht Club. It raises funds to support Easter Seals House, which provides accommodation for families while their children receive medical care in Vancouver. Registration is $100 or requires a minimum $250 boat sponsorship; sponsorship levels also include $500, $1,000 and $1,500.
