The Basil Hobbs Memorial
Snake Island Nanaimo (SIN) Regatta 2019
Friday, June 28 to Sunday, June 30
Our SIN Regatta offers great racing, serious fun, fantastic value, and a GREAT way to celebrate Canada's birthday.
Racers will have divisions and courses tuned for different boats.
A Cruiser/Racer division is planned for boats that are not fully race prepared and crewed, but want to participate in a race regatta (no PHRF rating certificate needed for this division only).
One-designs are welcome! Multihulls and faster monohulls will have new course options this year, we may even have a long-distance courses around Halibut Bank.
Come for the Party... race for the halibut!
EARLY BIRD REGISTRATION - NOW CLOSED
The SIN Early Bird prize is a floatable safety package from Harbour Chandler.
Have your life jacket on and, when your boat leaves you, jump in the water with this unit that accommodates your full safety gear: flares, your epirb, VHF radio, whistles and so on.
And it has handles for four people to clutch.
Gotta have one of these!
Register for SIN now (below)... only a few days left before the startline!
