QCYC Toronto

Looking for a great fun race. Look no further than @QCYCTOR #BlakeVanWinkle race June 8th. A pursuit format makes for a less stressful start and a fun finish.

IMPORTANT: Participants Meeting Tonight Moves to Zoom – May 8th – 1635 Due to high winds the tenders have been postponed until further notice and the Participants Meeting will now be held on Zoom. Link can be found in Quick Clipper.

As the season winds down, we aren’t done just yet. The QCYC Awards night is coming up the end of the month. It’s a great chance to share memories and maybe a lie or two.

Time is running out to join us for the QCYC’s Women’s Open Regatta. Registration closes at 1800 (6:00PM.) It’s a pursuit start and a woman must be at the helm. Plus lots of fun after. Click to qcyc.ca/sailing/racing…

A reminder the QCYC Women's Regatta is less than a week away. Registration for the August 12 race is now open for crews from other clubs. It's also a pursuit start out on the lake which makes for a fun finish and then a great evening at the Club after. qcyc.ca/sailing/racing…

Join us this Saturday, the 17th for the reborn Blake Van Winkle Pursuit Race. Rather than a mass start, boats start based on their individual ratings. You have ten miles to catch the boats ahead of you. For more info, go to qcyc.ca/BlakeVanWinkle…

Sailpast is fast approaching on Saturday May 20. It is a celebration of the start of the sailing season. The deadline for those wishing to attend is tomorrow. To book, call the QCYC office at 416-203-0929. Last minute email requests may not be honoured.

A sigh of relief. A little cold water didn’t stop our Andy Oakes from diving all week to do emergency repairs on our marine rail line. Meaning launch will go this weekend. A week late but better than not at all.

Due to mechanical issues, launch at @QCYCTOG has been delayed until this weekend April 29 and 30. Check here for updates. If you are a member, you can sign up for the QuickClipper for the latest updates.

How ready is everyone for a party. #Sailpast is back. A full day of fun on the water and onshore at @QCYCTOG.

Some important information to share with you. Head injuries on boats happen more often than you think. This is well worth signing up for.

This year an experienced skipper will be assigned Race Officer duties for one Wednesday Night Race. Therefore, on Mar 9, we will Spin the Wheel to find out who is onboard the Freddy M and when. Members section at qcyc.ca for details.

The Horne Collection: Join the QC-Gybe to keep up with the ongoing exhibition. - Many thanks to the whole crew who are so staunchly defending Queen City.

Horne collection 20-03: Invented last year and back for this season, one of Paul’s depth gauges. Notice it isn’t digital, doesn’t plug in, just works

Horne collection 20-02: A sump between lockers to collect water from the walk and ground so it can be pumped away.

Horne collection 20-01: The Watergate, installed at the dinghy ramp, protecting the dry-sail area, yard.
