The Vancouver Rowing Club is a unique multi-sport club nestled in Stanley Park.  Offering a friendly setting for rowing, rugby, field hockey and sailing, VRC excels at just about everything- including putting on a fantastic sailing regatta!  Our hosts bill the event as "the most fun you will have this summer" and we can't wait to see how this action-packed event stacks up.  There is traditionally a lobster fest involved at the big Saturday night crew party, so they are already ahead of the game on the food front!

This is our first regatta format event of the year, and offers the perfect opportunity to get a lot of racing experience in a single weekend right in English Bay.  With a short course format, we get the chance to practice maneuvers in tight quarters within a competitive fleet.  All this against the incomparable backdrop of the Vancouver & North Shore skyline?  Bring on SUMMER!

While we aim to sail our very best on the race course, we offer a fun and supportive learning environment.  No enraged skipper shouting at the crew.  No grim silence as the crew plots a mutiny.  No fits of depression if we don't beat all the other boats.  The Sea to Sky race team is all about improving our own performance both individually and as a team, and doing our best to make every race a positive experience.
