General Information
on the Van Isle 360 International Yacht Race
.....
If ever an island was meant to be raced around it is Vancouver Island. Her dramatic beauty, majestic mountains and natural harbours provide an awesome backdrop for a race that has become “the must do” event on the west coast sailing circuit. The Van Isle 360 runs every other year on the odd year and attracts some of top sailors in the Pacific Northwest. The variety of extremes and conditions challenge even the most seasoned crews.
.....
As Canadian Olympic Medallist, Ross MacDonald, observed in SAIL magazine,
“I can’t tell you how many races I sailed in this year, but I can tell you this was the most challenging by a factor of 2 to 1. The current changes every few hundred yards – maybe by 180 degrees – and the wind funnels down off the cliffs….you’d better have your boat sorted out.”
