Sailors, of all adventurers, know that it is darkest just before the dawn. We are currently deep in the clutches of a global pandemic, but the long term forecast is improving - including treatments and vaccines appearing on the horizon.
And so we are ramping up preparations for the next Vic-Maui in July 2022, conditions permitting.
Preliminary dates:
- Start dates July 2-8, 2022
- Finish Time Limit July 22, 2022
- Awards Banquet July 23, 2022
James (Jim) Innes has been appointed as the Royal Vancouver Yacht Club's Vic-Maui Event Chair, taking over from David Sutcliffe who served in the role for the past twelve years and who was recently appointed to a four year term as a Vic-Maui trustee.
Jim, skipper of Red Sheilla, is an RVYC member, a veteran of several Vic-Maui's, the son of Vic-Maui's founder (the late Jim Innes, also an RVYC member), and has served as our Mentor Coordinator for several event cycles.
Jim has represented Vic-Maui at boat shows and promotional talks, as an ambassador with sailors on both sides of the border, and by facilitating the donation by Beneteau of a cup for the cruising class. Jim is a lifelong sailor and a Maui travel enthusiast.
