Boats pay $20.00 and each crew member wanting post race food and drink (chili including vegetarian and alcoholic and non-alcoholic Moose Milk (a Navy tradition) will pay $10.00. We invite our ASV members to join in the post race celebrations or perhaps on a boat as we do have skippers happy to take folks out, however, you will need to be able to negotiate getting in and out of boats without a lift and up and down companion ways of boats. If you are interested in being a crew member on a boat for $10.00 you will need to provide your name and contact beforehand so we can place you on a suitable vessel. You will need to arrive at the docks at 1200. The race itself commences at 1:30 pm for about 1-1.5 hours with boats returning to the docks for the apres sail festivities. You can join in the apres sailing festivities and enjoy chili and libations for $10.00 but please RSVP to fleetcaptain@cfsaesq.ca for either crewing or eating.</p><p>CFSA has a long history of supporting accessible sailing in Victoria as it was the program provider since <a href="https://beige.party/tags/DisabledSailing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DisabledSailing</span></a> came into being in the early 1990’s. CFSA supported the association with space, moorage and assistance with equipment, volunteers and training staff. </p><p>Currently CFSA has had to change the location of their marina resulting in the dock not being accessible until the marina development is completed.
