Long Cruise 2025

Registration is free for this event but registration is necessary.

The planned route and timing recognizes that there will be both Power and Sail boats participating.  While it may not be possible to make all of the locations, it is hoped that you will attend those marked as Red Rendezvous points.  Distances have been set to be reasonable, tides have been considered and anchorages chosen which are expected to have enough space.  Research these locations to be sure they are appropriate for your boat .

Come back to the event page to check for changes.

Previously we have found that setting up a cell phone texting group helps with communication for most boats.  As you Register, please respond to each field, particularly your on board cell phone number.

Skippers are responsible for the safety of their boat and crew.  You will need good navigation equipment.  Weather conditions may require changes to our plan.

Registrants will be given a list of all participants with Contact Information.

August Short Cruise

August 5-15, 2025

Book Marinas or plan to anchor out where possible.

There is no fee charged for this yacht club event.  Boat crews are on their own for all meals but frequently registrants will make arrangements among themselves.  This registration will record a phone number that you have on your boat such that communication may be facilitated among participants.  If registered by July 26 you can expect to receive a list of all Short Cruise participants with contact information.

Choose which sites you wish to visit.  Book your marinas as soon as possible.  If you have moorage at North Saanich, you may be able to obtain reciprocal moorage at Ladysmith Marina.  See their website or call for availability.

If you have signed up for the Saltspring Outstation, you may try to book that two boat space but only two weeks in advance.
