De quoi s'agit-il

Turkey Head Sailing Bunch is a collaborative group of Victoria sailors looking to improve our skills, network with other sailors and most of all, have fun! Events are organized by our members for our members and include social events, day and overnight cruises and races. Contact Garry Sagert, Richard King or Dorrie Collins if you want to post an event.

New members (skippers and crew) must complete the Meetup group profile outlining their experience level and interests. This is the primary way skippers connect with potential crew members. We do not guarantee spots for crew on boats.

To participate in an event sign-up for the event on this site, ensuring your profile is complete and clearly outlines your experience level. Interested skippers will reach out to you prior to the event if they are looking for crew. You are also welcome to join us for coffee (time is included in each event listing) or for any social event as a way of getting to know members, even before getting on a boat.

Please bring appropriate clothing for all kinds of weather, including gloves. You are also responsible for your own snacks, water and PFD. Skippers also welcome the occasional token of thanks!

Note for new sailors

* We currently have very limited capacity to support first-time/new sailors. If you have no/limited experience, we suggest you take formal sail training from an accredited source prior to joining the Bunch.

What we're not

A sailing school - but we do suggest you take formal training from an accredited source.
A sailing co-op - although many of us started out as members of co-ops and some of us still are. If you want lots of experience, co-ops are a great way to go.
A tour operator. If you are just looking for a free sailing trip, this isn't the place to find it. We are looking for serious sailors, eager to learn and willing to put in the effort and financial commitment to be competent on the water.

COVID-19 Protocols
THSB is committed to a safe return to activities by following provincial health www.gov.bc.ca/PHOguidance and Sail Canada guidelines www.sailing.ca/covid-19-updates.

Disclaimer
* There are risks of injury and death involved in sailing.
* The skipper is always responsible for the safety of their vessel and crew, and has the final decision on who may sail aboard their vessel.

The RVYC Jingle Bell Cup is open to all boats that can sail: dinghies, cruisers, racers, and anything else you
can think of. It is a pursuit format, so your start time is based on the handicap rating of your vessel. See

will give you one. For dinghies, the boats normally raced at the club already have assigned rates. See below
under RATINGS for more information. No Registration Required.
In the spirit of the season, all participants, i.e. each crew member, are asked to provide a food bank item.
The collection box will be at the Dinghy Shed Notice Board. Festive outfits encouraged. See SOCIAL below. There is also a collection box at Oak Bay so no excuse.

Festive outfits encouraged. Social post race with much hilarity at RVYC Pub. You might even get a prize.

Length of events will depend on conditions and might run a little longer than indicated.

Cruise direction and duration will be determined by Skippers. Channel 9 for contact.

NOTES FOR POTENTIAL NEW CREW MEMBERS

You are always welcome to join us for coffee/social events to get to know the Bunch.

Ensuring you have a complete profile, with details about your sailing experience, is the best way for a skipper to identify whether you'd be a fit for their boat. Some may be willing to take out inexperienced sailors, while others will be looking for at least a basic level of knowledge and experience.

WHAT TO BRING

A life jacket. Some skippers have a spare to lend

Bring a snack and beverage if you are going to be out for a while (skippers also welcome the occasional token of thanks!)

It is always cooler on the water. Dress in layers that can be be adapted to the conditions. Wear flat shoes with non-slip non-marking soles and bring a pair of sailing gloves (climbing gloves with leather palms and fingers are also suitable).

SAFETY

There are risks of injury and death involved in sailing. You are responsible for your own safety and must assess the situation for yourself. (This includes an assessment of the skipper, the crew, the boat and the conditions. The more challenging the conditions the more confident you want to be about who you are going with.)

The skipper is always responsible for the safety of their vessel and crew, and has the final decision on who may sail aboard their vessel.

Cross Bay Pursuit Series (Revised) Jan. 4,11,18,25
Lieu non spécifié pour l'instant
The Cross Bay Pursuit
Challenge Serie
Jan 4 - 11 - 18 25
The Royal Victoria Yacht Club and Turkey Head Sailing would like to invite everyone to the Cross Bay Pursuit Challenge. Pursuits are a fun way of sailboat racing where the Slower boats start first, and the fast boats start later and must catch the fleet.
The staggered start means that the first boat that crosses the finish line after completing the course wins.

Start and Finish line: The start/Finish line is a transit line drawn from Fiddle and Todd Rocks to the shore. You start North of Todd rock and on the opposite side of the transit line from where the course is set.
2. Finish by sailing the course and crossing the transit line north of Todd Rock.
3. Start times are posted by PHRF rating. If you don’t have a rating, ask someone at your club what yours should be. Check the internet or just make an educated
guess that seems suitable. If you find you are not managing to stay close to the fleet at the end of the race, start sooner. If you don’t have a downwind sail You
will need to start sooner than your rating would suggest. The goal is to be close to the finish line as the fleet crosses and have some fun.

Course:to be posted Sat. each week
