PATOS ISLAND RACE (2027-03-12)

Fri, 12 Mar 2027 08:00:00 GMT

The Sidney North Saanich Yacht Club is proud to host the 44th annual Patos Island Race on March 13 and 14, 2027. As the traditional opening event of the Vancouver Island Racing Series, this premier Pacific Northwest sailing regatta attracts competitors from across British Columbia and Washington State for a weekend of challenging competition. The event is also an important fundraiser for SNSYC, helping support club programs and activities throughout the year.

To appeal to a wide range of boats and crews, the event offers three distinct racing options: the 67 NM Patos Island Race, a Category 3 offshore challenge; the 43 NM Round Pender course, an overnight race; and the 30 NM Gulf Islands Course, a competitive daytime race selected by the Race Committee based on conditions.

The success of the Patos Island Race depends on the support of volunteers, sponsors, and the sailing community. For sponsorship opportunities or volunteer information, please contact info@patosislandrace.com.
