Osoyoos Regatta 2022

November 2, 2022

After a two year break the Osoyoos club re-introduced their late summer Seaspray regatta. The weather was near perfect with a variety of wind conditions and 13 races overall. I trusted that my boat and trailer would stand the test of travel and sailing as I had packed the bare minimum of spare parts and slightly underinflated tires (corrected later) for the trip out and back there were no problems or mishaps. The Osoyoos club were great hosts as usual, providing us with bag lunches every day, pizza supper on Saturday and breakfast coffee and muffins.  

Thanks to all the club members who helped host this event and special thanks to John Cowan and Howard Carney for their efforts.

Pontoon boats began in the early 1950s as basically four steel drums lashed to a frame. They were not unlike the log rafts of ancient cultures and not much more sophisticated at first.

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. One could be forgiven for assuming this valley was purpose-built for nautical fun, with a few delightful perks thrown in to make the area entirely irresistible (wine-tasting, anyone?).
