Getting Ready to Head Offshore? Learn with Fellow BCA VI Members at Fleet and Weather.

If you are planning to sail offshore in the next year or two on your own boat or someone else's, consider joining the VI Fleet and Weather Group of 2018/19 which will have an introductory meeting at 6:30 pm on Wednesday, September 26 at Royal Victoria Yacht Club. The cost is $60 per boat for the year.

Starting on Wednesday, October 17, Fleet will meet once a month with presentations and/or group discussions on a variety of topics of interest to group members. Many Fleet members also join the Weather Group (no additional charge), which also will meet monthly on Wednesday evenings, starting October 31.

The Weather Group is designed to help participants increase their understanding of global weather and to develop skills in analyzing and applying weather information available at sea.

If you are interested in joining the 2018/19 VI Fleet, contact Al and Daragh for more information. For 2018/19 VI Weather information contact Larry Roberts.
