As we take stage in 2008, the club wants to maintain our sailing rituals like MacRendezVous, with focus on fundamentals like: MacFun is forefront. Skills, “man overboard” safety on the water and we encourage members to take courses through organizations like the Power Squadron. We also offer time on the water so that we can teach the quirks of our craft, like docking exercises, and basic racing skills with our regatta, members will share how they set up their boats. In the area of Sail weekends and Cruises, events that allow new members to travel in numbers, safely with experience members. Here we plan local weekend getaways, MacTheNite where we do a night sail or a couple during our season. Solo sailing is how to single hand our boats, gain confidence, and hone our skills. Keep your eyes on our website: mycbc.ca as we post a year’s worth of fun after our next meeting on March 1st.
Our mandate is to grow the club, their has been much interest from MacOwners to start a club on the Island and the Okanagan. I call on all of you to contact us through our website and we will help you initiate your club. We attract members from Calgary, Washington, and why not our Membership is still $20 per year, $35 for new members, which includes a club burgee. The low annual fee is still the main reason why we don’t have a club next to the RVYC. Then again, we do meet and have MacFun on our BC Waters.
