Reciprocal Moorage for Our Members: If you are wondering about our reciprocal moorage agreements with a variety of other clubs on the coast, check out our Yacht Destinations page here. And at the beginning of 2023, as is the case with our own reciprocal status, the reciprocal status of some participating Clubs may vary, so you are advised to check for “open status” before you go. If you want further information about our reciprocal moorage agreements, visit this page or contact Reciprocal Officer Karen Laidlaw reciprocal_officer@saltspringsailing.ca.
Cruising in Our Local Area: the former Fleet Captain Cruising Arne and Club member Jeremy Milsom of the SS Inn have put together a list of information about marinas and anchorages in the local SSI geographical area: local cruising destinations. (Note that reciprocals are not included in this list. Refer to the above for those.)
