Results of the 35th Patos Island Race

Apr 26, 2016

Hosted by the Sidney North Sannich Yacht Club the 35th running of The Patos Island Race is in the books.

The Patos Island Long Course is a Van Isle360 qualifier and it is part of the Vancouver Island Race Series.

Congratulations to all those who managed to overcome the light air at Patos on the weekend of April 9th. From various first hand reports and looking at the tracker it was no doubt an exercise in patience and concentration.

Go, Kingston, Go!

If the sailing gods look fondly, the Kingston team's efforts to land the ISAF Worlds in 2014 will be a tremendous win for Canada and for the Americas. The awarding of this event will allow the foundation for building the sport that is needed so badly here. Jamie Fraser, Marianne Davis and Tim Irwin all are owed a huge vote of praise and thanks for creating such an impressive bid.
