Gunboat Bay Regatta
E-mail Stan Barker
The small but spirited Gunboat Bay Yacht Club holds this not-too-serious regatta every July for sailboats no more than 20 feet in length. They welcome all friends, families and fans of participants to enjoy the pre-race marine parade at 2:30 p.m. and the club’s annual potluck barbecue and awards ceremony following the race (which starts right after a brief skippers' meeting at 3:30).

Malaspina Regatta
Tom Barker, 604-883-2689
Since 1990, the Garden Bay Sailing Club hosts this, the biggest regatta of the area, every Canada Day weekend. All classes and sizes of sailboats compete for trophies, and a handicap system ensures that the biggest boat doesn't necessarily win. The day starts with a skippers' breakfast and ends with an awards ceremony and barbecue.
