Boxing Rock: Perfect Day for a Great Event

 

June 28, 2018

It was a beautiful day on Saturday, June 9 that saw 42 yachts and more than 260 sailors take part in the Sail Nova Boxing Rock Cup. This annual race, which has been around for more than 45 years, always draws a crowd. The light winds may not have made for the most dramatic racing, but they were ideal for an epic raft-up at Bishop’s Landing.

The Best of Two Worlds

By Mathew Channer

Interior British Columbia might not be as famous for recreational boating as Canada’s Great Lakes, yet it is no less a world-class boat­ing destination. The mountains offer their own flavour of marine adventure with their series of long, deep ribbon lakes, and there is perhaps no area that embodies this more uniquely than the iconic Okanagan basin in southern B.C.
