Sidney Annual International Boat Race (SAIBR)

The Sidney Annual International Boat Race (SAIBR) will be held this year as part of the Sidney Days celebration (June 29 - July 1). Various events are planned including sailboat races to be organized by the Sidney North Saanich Yacht Club. Races will consist of up to 4 Round-the-Buoys courses off the Sidney waterfront (foot of Beacon Ave.) and will take place on Saturday June 29, starting at 11:00 AM.

This will be a Fun Regatta. Entries are open to all classes of yachts - the intent is to have as many boats as possible. If you have a PHRF(NW) rating, we plan to have one flying sails division (A), and one non flying sails division (B). If you don't have a PHRF rating, then we will accept a club rating or we will assign an unofficial rating - to form one non flying sails (non PHRF) division (C). Division splits will be finalized dependent on the number of entries.

Registration forms and additional information will be posted on the SAIBR web site: www.saibrfest.com.

The registration fee is $25 and includes one meal ticket for Saturday evening. There will be lots of prizes, a big party and dancing to the Timebenders at the Mary Winspear Cultural Centre @ Sanscha Hall. Division winners will each also receive 2 tickets to the Timebenders event.

The SAIBR Sailboat Registration Forms will also available at the SNSYC clubhouse (phone 250-656-4600). For further information, you may also contact Koit Teng at 250-656-2273 or Alan Currie at 250-386-0931.
