Welcome to the home of the Macgregor Yacht Club of British Columbia (MYCBC.ca). We are a group of present and past Macgregor Yacht Owners. Most of our members are in British Columbia, Canada, although we do have several members from other places.
We organize on and off the water activities for owners of Macgregor boats; regattas, cruises, flotillas and our annual all member get together 'MacRendezvous'. Members share tips, ideas, and hard-come-by knowledge about how to maximize the joy of owning these wonderfully affordable boats.
This website is open to all to enjoy. We don't require 'official MYCBC' membership to use this site but you are welcome to become full members for the modest fee. Currently this is $50 for the first year (which includes a club burgie and welcome package) and $25 per year thereafter. Membership in the club is recognized at marine stores and marinas for discounts on supplies and moorage. We also have negotiated discount insurance coverage for members. The saving you can expect will pay back your membership fee manyfold.

We do not share email addresses with any other organization. Full club membership (paid-up members) may have additional priviedges on this site that are not visible to others.

Long week end forecast If your looking at the Sucia Raft-up, your mainly looking at a Sunny Friday, partially clouded Sat/Sun, and a rainy Monday. for Indian arm, we are looking at a Sunny Friday, moving into Rain, Rain, Rain from Saturday onward. Not the other site states we will have sun with partial clouds on Sat/Sun and definite rain on Monday. Knowing this, the best accurate information is stick your head out of the hatch... head gets wet... its raining. If you have to reach back and find your sunglasses and sun screen its sunny, if you need a sweater,or just want to curl back into bed its cloudy and cold
you will most likely be receiving your Hub insurance renewals. If your 20% discount is not showing on your invoice call them. you may be required to fax them your membership card.
Well windchime here is another, we were crossing over from the Marina making our way to Misses Sunshines dock, when Cathy spotted a sea lion at play, jumping up and splashing. As I missed the excitement while navigating, we kept our focus on the area not realizing how much time had passes and we where at our friends dock.
Sailing Dudes, It is moments and days like the one you had on Wednesday that everything seems right with the world. These encounters with nature and all it's wonders reward us for the time we spend on the ocean, and help to remind us that there are bigger things in life that just our day to day living. It's funny how the sight of any amazing sea creature in it's natural home can fill our hearts with so much excitement, and wash away the stress of the day. Thanks for sharing! I was supposed to be out on the water today, but life got in the way and I was feeling a little miffed about it ... I feel better having read your post.
On our way back from Bowen Island last Wednesday in fair winds doing 4kt with main only on broad reach, as we were just rounding Point giving it a wide berth we saw a single porpoise swiming out of English Bay. Even at the risk to sound like our commodore (cheers Darry), I had to report this sighting. We had the boat in groove and decided not to pursue it but to continue sailing in what turned to be the perfect sailing conditions.
