Once again we extend a warm welcome for you to join us at Kin Beach on beautiful Okanagan Lake for our annual weekend of races, recreation and reconnecting. We will be having a small boat race on the afternoon of the 1st -- Saturday and the 9-person change races on Sunday the 2nd. So far Ogopogo has not been sighted!

§ Saturday, Aug.1/09:
The small boat race is approximately 10 km and any form of boat is acceptable (self propelled that is !).
Even if you are not racing be sure to plan your OC-6 rigging around the race so you can watch and cheer.


Awards soon after the race finish

§ Sunday, Aug.2/09: We have a long (44 km) race along with a short course (24km) that can be a change or ironed. We have men's, mixed, ladies, master's etc. Any combination will work !
All non-racing paddlers are encouraged to join us in giving the racers a rousing send off.

§ Escort Boats: Please contact chrislc@shaw.ca phone 250-542-8488 ASAP if you require an escort boat.

§ Sunday Nite Party, Aug.2/09: We will be hosting a post-race party on Sunday at a private home on the lake -- it has a dock, beach, grass, barbque, firepit, jukebox, bar etc. Our plan is for a range of salads and meat on the barbque with bevies of various kinds available for purchase.
