Ahoy blue water racers, heads up on Vic Maui registration!

https://fb.watch/36974-i_Jt/ Ouch. That is what it looks like when a very fast sailboat does not have an ease to the mainsail (and associated runner backstay) when rounding a top mark! Airtime!

The hardest race on the planet. The Vendee solo round the world race has become an incredible close race as they approach the finish in France. Check it out! Some of these boats are built as foiling (literally flying above the water) race boats! High Tech at its best. https://www.vendeeglobe.org/en/presentation

Now these "flying sailboats" are amazing. 70foot long and travelling close to 50 knots (the same as driving down the highway at 90km/hour in your car). Incredible! https://fb.watch/31U9vZOBq0/

The following info from one of our keen CBSC Sailors! Hi CBSC SAILORS The ultimate yacht race is underway. VENDEE GLOBE is non-stop global circumnavigation from France. Hi drama in the Indian Ocean now. ... Miracle rescue at night 840 nm SW of Cape Town S Africa. One boat broke in half after high speed collision with a big wave. Speeds to 25knts+ on foils. This is day 31. 36 solo sailors entered from 11 nations not including Canada. France has the most entries. Entries from UK, Japan, Germany, Spain, Finland, and Denmark I think.. Five skippers are women one of whom collided with a floating object/UFO...taking severe damage. More at Official website of the Vendée Globe - Vendée Globe - En (vendeeglobe.org)

Comox Bay Sailing Club is pleased to report that with the support of Boating BC’s grant program we have completed the fabrication of a multi boat regatta transport trailer. This new trailer was fabricated locally in Comox by Ocean Metal Custom Fabrications and will transport our sailboats and coach boat to compete in the BC Circuit and beyond! The trailer will enable youth sailors as well as adult sailors to compete all around BC by providing a strong, safe, and efficient mea...ns of transport for our sailboats as well as our coach boat. This was made possible by the funds generated by Boating BC at the Vancouver Boat Show and will promote participation in boating by sailors out of the Comox Valley Area for years to come. Comox Bay SC’s Vice-Commodore and Sailing Team director would like to thank both Boating BC and Ocean Metal Custom Fabricators for their tremendous support of our sailors and the Comox Bay Sailing Club!
