The M242 Canadian Championship organizers in Gibsons have been working on a variety of topics over the past 6 months, and one of them had to do with arranging free moorage at the floating dinghy school raft that is always in place in past years in a very sheltered location from east, south, and west winds: see the red square in the photo below re its usual location.

As a result, free moorage for 6 M242’s has been arranged and David Guy (Organizing Committee member and a 242 owner) has asked our Fleet to reach out to the first 6 non-Gibsons Registered boats and see if they want to take up this offer. (3 Registered boats are from Gibsons and have their own permanent slips)

He’s arranging for a volunteer to run a RVYC-donated whaler back and forth to the Gibsons Landing dock (or the Marina) each morning and afternoon.

The additional speedy option is for the 242’s at the floating dock to pool resources and shuttle folks back and forth on Martins, and use the whaler to help out with first-of-day and last-boat-at-end-of-day shuttling, at a minimum.

As such, we’ve contacted the current Registered boats on the list and at this point only 1 has asked to stay at the floating dock (Ken Holland), which leaves 5 open slots.

You have to Register for the event (https://www.scycsailing.ca/regattaentrypage) to claim a slot, and then text Michael Clements at (778) 968-1713 to let him know you want one and he’ll inform the Committee to add you to the list.
