RS800 - RS ing about on English Bay, Vancouver June 09

I think there are two or three at Jericho now. The UBC Sailing Club is also considering purchasing one or two for next season.

As far as I know we're the only one - brought it across with us form the UK when we moved to Vancouver 8 years ago. That said there's a guy moving here form Holland shortly who is bringing his over as well so at least we can match race! Garda is definitely on the to do list one day - just need it to coincide with an Optimist event so that the kids can come too.

Good luck at the Euros.

Cheers,

@sailskiffvancouver Yes the boat from Holland arrived this summer - now we just need to get UBC to buy one (or more!) and rebuild a skiff fleet @ Jericho following the demise of the 49ers a few years ago.

Yup, the UBC sailing club has two RS800s on the way. They should be here this week. We'll be posting a video soon.

Didn't know you had any of these across the pond? You should come to the Euros in Garda next summer, should be over 70 boats. I say Euros, most of them will be english but it's all good fun!
