In 2026 we have two series of races and a special Pig Regatta. For the spring and fall series, best 6 out of 10 for each individual series, and best 12 of 20 for the Club Championship. Each series will have a make up day at the end of each series. Each race will have a skippers meeting at 2:30pm at the Hanna Creek Docks followed by race start at 3pm
Each race will need volunteer(s) to setup the course and run the committee boat/manage the races. For those interested in volunteering there will be impromptu training available at socials. If you are interested in volunteering to help let us know!

2:30 on water @ Hanna Creek no-wake buoys. Wind 9-10kts from NE
Winds out of the NE at 6-14kts throughout the race on average. Start was between buoy 3&4 exiting Hanna Creek, and rounding a ‘runaway’ buoy off the fairfield dock. The start was the downwind portion where multiple spinnakers showed their faces giving those boats an advantage.
A light turnout for the last race of the season. The wind was ‘ok’ building and turning into an incredible sailing day (after the race). This wraps up the 2025 BLSA Racing season!
Four boats today, and a cold front moving in meant increasing / gusty conditions. I decided today shortly after the first race started to attempt to fly my asymmetrical spinnaker for the first time ever which went as well as you can imagine. I did get it deployed, and doused without breaking anything at least 🙂
I continue to try to figure out the new boat holding up the rear of the group 🙂
A whirlwind in the forecast leading up to the race, but unfortunately not much of that wind made it to Sunday’s start. Four BLSA boats started between 4-5 buy at Hanna Creek no wake, and raced to the first Kent’s Buoy and back. “Wind” had most on a broad reach all the way to the rounding point, then close hauled on the way back. Not a lot of wind and not a lot of tacking.
On the bright side, it was overcast and much cooler than forecast during the race.
