The Canadian Forces Sailing Association successfully hosted a Not a Whaler Race on New Year's Day, raising over $700 with the participation of four boats. General Delivery, skippered by Michelle Sherk, won the Admiral Martin trophy for best performing boat, while the Royal Canadian Navy's Osprey boat, led by Ben Sproule, secured the Linklater trophy for raising the most funds. We extend our gratitude to all participants and donors, particularly jury members Steve Alvey from Able Sail and Barb Peck from the Canadian Forces Sailing Association. Special thanks to Canadian Forces Base Esquimalt and the Canadian Forces Sailing Association for their support.

Not a Whaler Race 2026, January 1, 1200 registration, social 1500

the executive are ready to execute the first race of 2026 but more boats would be nice. We've laid on some good eats and want folks to join in the social aspect if they aren't racing at the Pacific Fleet Club. Donations to preferably be made online. CFSA has supported accessible sailing for decades and continues to provide space for Able Sail Victoria's vessels.

Able Sail Victoria is experiencing great growth since it's inception post COVID and as a charitable society relies solely on donations and grants. ASV finished the 2025 season with over 300 sails at two partner yacht clubs.RVYC where the bulk of the sails happened and SNSYC who are enthusiastic supporters of the program. Sailors are charged a small amount per sail with ASV covering the remaining costs.
