Royal Vancouver Yacht Club
We are looking for more sailors! Come and join the most active, fun, and competitive Fleet of 24' racing sloops in English Bay.
About this event:
Every year the Martin 242 Fleet holds a meet and greet at the Royal Vancouver Yacht Club to enlist those interested in racing on these One-Design sailboats. If you have mastered the basics of sailing and would like to try racing, or if you are an experienced competitive sailor, and would like to pair your skills with some of the Pacific Northwest’s top sailors, the Vancouver Martin242 Fleet is for you.
This is a FREE event and you do not need to be a yacht club member to attend or to race during the season. We'll get together in the lower Boardroom of the Club where you'll have the chance to meet different skippers and other crew looking to join up for the coming season. Please check back to our website closer to the event to follow the latest COVID-19 restrictions.
Dress is casual (we're Sailors). There might be a beer or glass of wine with your name on it if you register!

Unfortunately this year’s Fleet 1 dinner and awards ceremony was again cancelled due to the ongoing pandemic…but we still have some hardware to bestow! So we’ll again have to hand out these honours virtually – check out this year’s winners:
