RNSA BC Squadron 40th Anniversary Single Handed Race Year. From the very beginning the squadron made an impact on the yachting fraternity of Vancouver.

Tidal Diamond 333 – Ebb & Flow, LNTM

Tidal Diamond No. 333

Deadline for the June Regatta issue of Ebb and Flow – this is Saturday 8 June 2013

As usual, we need your input to make Ebb and Flow interesting; if you are writing an article (please do), a few photos help to make it even more interesting (and make it easier to adjust it to fit in the space available).

I’m sure you must have some sailing thoughts or experiences that we can all learn from or enjoy. Cruising tips – or trips, race training ideas, cooking in confined quarters, plans and ambitions for the summer, what made you want to get afloat in the first place. Contributions are welcomed for our Regatta issue. Don’t be shy, start to write!

If you have an idea and aren’t too sure, get in touch.
