Calling all SISC Members! Mark your calendars for the long weekend in May (weekend of the 17th) because we have a spectacular weekend of fun, food and fantastic company planned and hope you’ll want to be part of it. We’ve pulled out all the stops to make this year’s Round Saltspring an unforgettable weekend of sailing and social events for all and you’re invited to the party! We’re also assembling our team of Round Saltspring volunteers — a terrific way to get your volunteer hours in and socialize with your fellow club members. Read all the details in the attached members’ Round Saltspring Countdown Bulletin!
Message from the Wharfinger:  we also need a team of people to help with moorage on this weekend.  Click here to see how you can help out in this particular department.

Half Price Hullabaloo: Calling all savvy sailors! We’re slashing entry fees in half for all you Saltspring Sailing Club members. That’s right, folks—a 50% discount for the Day Race just for being part of our crew. Simply contact Paul Faget at racing@saltspringsailing.ca and we’ll have you shipshape in no time!. Any other scallywags or landlubbers keen to join the fun must pay the full price and register on ClubSpot like all other sea dogs. And for those intrepid souls who’ve already signed up for the Day Race, don’t worry! We’ll be refunding 50% of your entry fee faster than you can say “anchors aweigh.”

Staycation Sensation: Forget jet-setting off to distant shores—why not bask in the glory of our own backyard? This weekend, the only destination you need is right here with us. Stick around for the day race and then kick back at our Saturday soirée, where the drinks are flowing, the chili’s on the house, and the tunes are sure to get your sea legs groovin’. (Although, OTOH, if you feel like joining the Anchors Aweigh/Clear the Slips Cruise instead, see here.)
Saturday Shindig: After a day of high-seas heroics, it’s time to swap sea stories and revel in the camaraderie of our salty clan. Our Saturday evening social promises a cash bar overflowing with libations, steaming bowls of chili to warm your cockles, and a live band ready to rock the boat.
And fear not those fickle winds! We’ll be selecting a course that ensures everyone’s back on the dock before the clock strikes 6. Because why limit the fun to just the sea, when the party’s waiting for you ashore?

So batten down the hatches, rally your crew, and prepare for a day of seafaring shenanigans at the Round Saltspring Day Race. It’s a maritime marvel you won’t want to miss!

All aboard!

See you there!
