A North Shore sporting tradition with a half-century history will be back on course this month after a two-year COVID-19 hiatus.

The West Vancouver Yacht Club will host the 52 nd Southern Straits Sailing Race over the Easter weekend, with sailors once again hitting open water to navigate a course criss-crossing the Georgia Strait. The event will also include the return of popular on-shore activities for members of the public, including a pancake breakfast benefiting the Lions Society, live music from the West Vancouver Pops Band, live commentary, and a visit from the Easter Bunny to coincide with the start of the race at West Vancouver’s Dundarave Pier at 25th Street and Bellevue Avenue on Good Friday, April 15.

The event will feature short, medium and long course races ranging in length from 70 to 145 nautical miles, as sailors will test their skill while racing overnight in tricky spring conditions. There will also be an Inshore Course of approximately 20 miles, which will run during daylight hours on Good Friday.

The Royal Canadian Navy will be in attendance at this year’s event, with a Patrol Craft Training Cougar 61 Orca-class vessel on hand to start the race.

Public festivities will begin at 9 a.m., April 15, with the race’s starting sequence commencing at 10:25 a.m.

More info about the race, as well as a live yacht tracking tool, is available on the Southern Straits Sailing Race event webpage .

West Vancouver Yacht Club

Hard to believe, but Good Friday April 3rd 2015 will mark the 47th consecutive start for the West Vancouver Yacht Club’s Southern Straits Classic.

What started in 1969 with Ed Prescesky’s 47-footer SUMMER WINDS taking Line Honours, has grown into over 100+ boats and 700 sailors on the Start Line in 2014 from all over the Pacific Northwest. This year, Southern Straits is pleased to present all new Courses, a new Double Handed Division, a Registered Boat Bio feature and our brand new website which covers all the bases from ‘How to Register’ to ‘Foreshore Activities.’

Registration is now open and we look forward to seeing you on the 2015 Start Line

Event History

It all began in 1969  –  Heading towards 50 years!!

On January 22, 1969, the West Vancouver Yacht Club circulated a bulletin: ‘In an effort to develop a major middle-distance yachting fixture in the Strait of Georgia for Category I and II boats, the West Vancouver Yacht Club is sponsoring the Southern Strait of Georgia Race on Easter weekend. Covering a distance of 120 miles with three turning marks, the race will start at 1100 hours on Friday, April 4th at the Point Grey Bellbuoy. First mark is Entrance Island, second is a lighted buoy 1½ miles south of Pt. Roberts and third mark is White Islets. All marks to Port. The race will finish at Passage Island. The course will be patrolled in daylight by members of the Seabee Flying Club. Owners or charterers of participating yachts must be members of recognized yacht clubs, and all entrants must have valid CCA certificates. For further information, contact race committee chairman Jack Pinch or Gerry Kidd.’

• 25th Anniversary Pumpkin Bowl — A Dinghy Racing Extravaganza

West Vancouver Yacht Club’s annual two-weekend dinghy racing extravaganza, Pumpkin Bowl, was a smash hit as the event celebrated its 25th year!

Opti youth weekend october 14-15.

25 years on from the first ever Pumpkin Bowl at West Vancouver Yacht Club (WVYC) and there are definitely no signs of slowing down! This was clearly evident at this year’s Opti Youth weekend with 89 Opti sailors of varying ages between 7 and 15 years old, enjoying both on and off water action. This was the largest Opti fleet ever at Pumpkin Bowl.

Saturday morning dawned clear with no rain as excited Opti sailors, their parents, and coaches set up in the Club’s parking lot. Registration was buzzing while the vast majority of sailors checked in and obtained their dolly tags that morning, plus the usual swag with Halloween candy. Under the masterful supervision of Charles Le Clerk, the Opti Champ fleet launched efficiently, followed a little later by one of the largest Opti Green fleets Pumpkin Bowl has ever had with 36 sailors.

Race Officer, Harry Coleman, set the Opti Champ course west of Point Atkinson to optimize the forecast easterly, while Race Officer Kathy Parslow set the Green course not far from the Basin just off Eagle Island. Both fleets enjoyed east to southeasterly breezes of 4 to 6 knots, with the Green fleet experiencing an early outflow with a 180 degree wind shift fairly early on, keeping Green fleeters on their toes and sailing uphill on both legs. The northerly outflow reached the Champ fleet later in the day, which proved no problem at all for Harry’s team, including Kerry Phillips, who operated three robotic marks to swiftly reset the course. 

After three short races and some Pied-Piper-style sailing where the Green fleet all followed a coach, it was time for the Green fleet to head in for activities ashore. Many Green fleeters couldn’t wait to find the witch, carve pumpkins, and play with some incredible balloon sculptures produced by “Twistin’ Sam” — think lightsabers, bows and arrows, mini Optis, pumpkins, flowers and hearts, to name just a few of Twistin’ Sam’s creations.  

The Champ fleet completed four races before joining the Green fleet later in the afternoon to take part in the fun and games. In addition to the competitive racing, the Champ fleet were also privileged to see a number of humpback whales cruising by, followed not long after (but quite separately) by a pod of orcas. What a show!

On Sunday morning, the rain cleared yet again and both fleets enjoyed a consistent breeze of 8 to 15 knots with only minor wind shifts. The Champ fleet raced just north of Passage Island and the Green fleet set up in a similar position to the day before in clear view of the Champ fleet. Enjoying a bit of friendly rivalry, Kathy managed to outdo Harry with six races on the Green course, with the Champ course reaching their maximum of five races for the day by 2:00 p.m. 

The time out buoys on the Green course proved very handy for the coaches, who tied up a string of Optis belonging to sailors who found Sunday’s conditions a bit challenging. This allowed the majority of the Green fleeters to stay out on the course to watch the racing and still participate in the event. 

Behind the scenes as usual, a large number of volunteers worked magic on land and water to make this such a memorable event — thank you! Nicky da Costa in particular, worked tirelessly on Information Desk and Volunteer Assignments, while also training to take over as Regatta Chair next year. 

Laser and Doublehanded Weekend October 21-22

Having only just recovered from a busy Opti Youth weekend, Pumpkin Bowl 2.0 for Lasers and Doublehanded dinghies sure did not disappoint! In total, the participation was fabulous, only six boats short of the largest Pumpkin Bowl ever. The parking lot was packed with Lasers and Fevas, while the outer and inner docks bulged under the weight of countless 420s, 29ers, and FJs. 

On Saturday morning, blessed with clear skies and moderate fall temperatures (unheard of for Pumpkin Bowl), the Laser fleet headed to Jericho and raced off Spanish Banks near the Jericho Bell Buoy, taking advantage of the building westerly. Earlier, coaches and support boats towed the Doublehanded fleet some way off Point Atkinson past Passage Island to find the wind. As predicted, the wind brought massive seas with up to 6 foot waves. For many competitors, this was the first time they had raced in a dinghy so far offshore and in such enormous swell — both exhilarating and terrifying at the same time! 

On the Doublehanded course, setting marks in up to 500 feet of water in huge swell proved challenging — WVYC’s signal boat Silver Shadow even dragged its anchor! All fleets enjoyed fantastic racing with most fleets completing four races well in time to be towed back to the Club in daylight. 

After dinner on Saturday night, Ant “The Quiz Master” Gillard ran a highly engaging quiz for sailors, volunteers, and parents alike. Questions ranged from nautical to pop culture themes such as “Of the four wind gods, who is the exalted ruler of the North Wind?” and “Who is the most followed person on Instagram?” The room was completely silent while teams pondered a question, only to be followed with screams and shouts when Ant provided the answers. A great way to let off steam after a day of full-on racing! 

Sunday proved more of the same on water. This time the Doublehanded boats competed east of the Jericho Bell Buoy and the Lasers competed south of the Doublehanded course directly west of Spanish Banks. The swell was just as fierce, but by this time many competitors had learned to harness the waves to their advantage downwind, making for some pretty fun and fast racing. Racing in an FJ, I learned to steer well clear of the 29ers as they flew downwind in fairly consistent 15 to 18 knots. All fleets enjoyed terrific racing with most fleets completing another four intense races.

Heading in for a hot shower, hot chocolate, hot chili, and Halloween inspired cupcakes, most sailors appeared pretty exhausted but elated. In addition to the usual awards, for the first time, Pumpkin Bowl organizers awarded the “Vlad Plavsic Award for Outstanding Sailor” to Andre Deseau, as well as PB necklaces to the top five ILCA six female identifying sailors. 

What a fantastic pair of dinghy racing weekends! The weather held out, we found the wind, racing was awesome and, most importantly, the community of sailors and volunteers is stronger than ever. What more can a regatta celebrating its 25th anniversary hope to achieve?

West Vancouver Yacht Club

An owner of a house at Sandy Cove objected to the Club idea on the grounds that a ferry, which had been quite a viable form of transportation in those days, had its base at Sandy Cove. The objections, however, were finally overcome and construction began with efforts in fundraising.

Over the years, the Club continued to grow and develop, becoming a hub for boating enthusiasts in the West Vancouver area. Today, West Vancouver Yacht Club offers a range of amenities and services for members, from quality facilities for yachts to social events and educational programs. Members can enjoy celebrated competitions, exceptional cruising opportunities, and even learn to sail courses for those new to the boating world.

The unbeatable location of West Vancouver Yacht Club offers stunning views of the surrounding waterways and mountains, making it the perfect spot for relaxation and adventure alike. With outstation destinations for exploring further afield and boat sharing opportunities for members looking to expand their boating horizons, WVYC truly caters to boaters of all levels of experience and interests.

West Vancouver Yacht Club Celebrates 75 Years

By patrick matishak.

While yacht clubs are founded on all things boating, and generally “messing about in boats,” it is the people who make them truly special. In 1945, when six like-minded boaters came together to sign the charter forming the West Vancouver Yacht Club , they did not foresee a 75th Anniversary celebration in the club’s future.

In the preliminary years, the club established a few temporary moorage locations. At best, 12 mooring buoys were located in Pilot Cove. A permanent home base for the club appeared unattainable. Late in 1950, during usual chitchat amongst members moored at a weekend gathering, a significant plan was hatched: a small group of members would form a syndicate and create a permanent mooring facility. In quick succession, discussions took place that lead to a group of 18 members who purchased property at their desired location, West Vancouver’s Fisherman’s Cove. They dredged, piled and supplied floats, which were turned over to West Vancouver Yacht Club’s ownership, management and operation. In return, the syndicate members were offered reduced moorage fees and membership dues.

When the syndicate purchased the first lot in Fisherman’s Cove, a small white cabin on the property became the Clubhouse. Over the course of a few years, additional adjacent properties were acquired, assembling the land and water lots the club enjoys today. A new clubhouse was built in 1963. A Yachting Centre was added in 2002, to serve as the headquarters for the expanding, very active, youth sailing program. To date, the clubhouse has undergone several renovations, with the most recent and significant enhancement completed in 2012. The dock configuration was redesigned in 2013. Subsequently, a redevelopment project eliminated some smaller moorage, accommodating larger and beamier vessels. This redevelopment further supported the club’s environmental stewardship efforts, earning the Georgia Strait Alliance’s Clean Marine BC Five-Anchor Eco-Rating certification.

Over the years, the club developed outstations at Kendrick Island in the Gulf Islands, and Elliot Bay in Howe Sound. Outstations in Telegraph Harbour and Pender Harbour are also very popular cruising destinations for members.

Two annual club signature events are the Southern Straits Yacht Race and the Pumpkin Bowl Regatta. Inaugurated in 1969, the Easter weekend Southern Straits attracts racers from around the Pacific Northwest and beyond. Crews come to compete, make new acquaintances, rekindle old ones and share in the camaraderie of sailboat racing. Celebrating 21 years, Pumpkin Bowl is a junior/intermediate event with a Halloween theme. The regatta has become the premier local dinghy racing event for young sailors, attracting over 200 competitors annually. These events, in addition to a number of races and regattas, including the summer Wednesday Evening Race Series, and the winter Snowflake Races, make for an active and engaged sailing fleet.

Cruisers are not left out of the fun. Frequent cruises and gatherings up and down our beautiful coast have been chronicled over the years in the Foghorn, a monthly WVYC publication.

The West Vancouver Yacht Club has always been a progressive, family friendly club, with active and engaged members cruising, racing, socializing, volunteering and supporting each other. Our success is attributed to retaining these values as times and circumstances have transitioned through 75 years. Looking ahead, we see a bright future, in continuing to build an active and engaged membership of all ages, who share a passion for “messing about in boats”.

Business name : West Vancouver Yacht Club

A yacht club is formed by a group of people with a common interest in using boats to get away from land and enjoy cruising local and distant waters, racing for the thrill of personal combat against other sailors and the elements, or just messing about on boats. In the children’s classic “The Wind in the Willows”, it is described thus: “There is nothing – absolutely nothing – half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats…or with boats…in or out of ’em, it doesn’t matter.”

West Vancouver Yacht Club has just such beginnings and aspirations. Formed in 1945, the Club consisted of 45 people with only 6 boats between the lot of them. In 1946 the first Sailpast was held, and Club members and friends have been enjoying this annual event that starts the boating season every year since.

Humble beginnings, started by the dreams of a few, moved on to acquire the foreshore rights in Fisherman’s Cove in 1951 with a small cottage for a clubhouse. By 1963 the clubhouse you see overlooking the moorage was completed and then extensively updated in 2012. Much of the work carried out on Club projects is through members’ volunteering labour and expertise; volunteering is a mainstay of Club participation and camaraderie.

Many accomplishments over the years have contributed immensely to the enjoyment all the members have for “messing about in boats”. The annual Southern Straits Yacht Race brings sailors and boats to the Straits of Georgia to challenge each other in the boisterous spring weather conditions. Outstations have been added at Gambier Island and Kendrick Island and more recently with leased space in Pender Harbour and Telegraph Harbour. The Club sail training program, designed to help youngsters and adults become proficient in the skills of sailing, is now one of the premier such programs available to anyone in the community, not just Club members. To serve this program, the Sailing Center was built in 2002 as a focus for activity and learning in all aspects of small boat sailing.
