| In addition to our main race series and regatta, there are a number of less formal events throughout the year. There are also several races in the greater Vancouver, Howe Sound, Vancouver Island, and Washington areas that may be of interest to you. This page will be used as a general race calendar to list these races, with links to official race pages, additional race info, etc. wherever applicable. 2008 Race Schedule
