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.

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.

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.

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.

[QCYC Toronto @QCYCTOG]

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.

[QCYC Toronto @QCYCTOG]

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

[QCYC Toronto @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.

[QCYC Toronto @QCYCTOG]

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 https://t.co/osyecR7aAP for details.
