Tiddly Cove’s annual English Bay Scramble, the most interesting and popular sailboat race in Vancouver, and perhaps in the world due to its pure, unadulterated racing conundrums! Which way to go? Skippers and crews competing in the Scramble will be the most highly regarded sailors we know, and perhaps that one could meet, ever.

"The Scramble is probably the only race in the Lower Mainland where independent thought actually pays off.

Last Chance Regatta
This is a fantastic event to enter and everyone is welcome. The TCYC Last Chance Regatta is on Saturday, October 19th. This is your last chance to make up for some of your mistakes made over the summer or to really cement your racing dominance - or more perhaps to shake off the rust and see what you have forgotten. At the very least it is the last chance for us to pretend it's still summer and get a few more mark roundings in.
We plan a day full of short, round the cans races on varied courses to keep you on your toes. This is a great chance for everyone to practice for the upcoming Snowflake series or to tune-up your new crew for VRC's Polar Bear series.
Maybe you don't want to race, or don't have a boat - why not volunteer for Race Committee? Contact fleetcaptaintcyc@gmail.com to volunteer!
Registration closes at 20:00 on October 18th, so register today!
Please join us for a gathering to celebrate the 50th year of TCYC and our members accomplishments over those years.
Please RSVP if you are able to attend.
We look forward to seeing you at the party!
Yours truly,
The TCYC Executive Team
