Registration is open for the National Bank Easter Seals Charity Regatta, hosted by RVYC in support of Easter Seals House Vancouver, which provides accommodation for families while their children receive medical care at Vancouver’s Children’s Hospital. The regatta is a PHRF handicap race with flying sails and no-flying sails divisions. The Regatta is pirate-themed and crews will be judged on their costumes, decorations and spirit in the return of the False Creek boat parade.
Pub Cup Challenge
Skippers and crews can also recruit their favourite licensed establishments to compete for the “Pub Cup” in the inaugural “First in Bar” race. Pubs will sponsor boats and compete to see which establishment can raise the most in support of Easter Seals House. Pub-sponsored boats will be scored separately as well as overall in the regatta.
Boat Sponsorship
Registration is $100 or requires a minimum $250 boat sponsorship; other levels of sponsorship also include $500, $1,000 and $1,500. For every $500 raised through boat sponsorship, your rating will be adjusted 1 point slower!
Registration Incentive
If you register by July 5th you will be eligible to win a unique opportunity to crew aboard Skipper Derek Hatfield’s Volvo 60 Amer Sports One in the 2014 St. Maarten Heineken Regatta. Derek, Canada's premiere solo ocean racer, will be speaking at an exclusive Easter Seals Regatta warm up event on Tuesday, June 4th at the Royal Vancouver Yacht Club. Click Here more information.
