Well... I was assuming you might want to sail those legs if the wind is there, and beating that far in a C27 will have its limitations, esp if you don't get the tides in your favour. 20-30 miles made good upwind is a longish day for anyone.Challenging in what way?
I am running an 8 hp outboard.
There is significant current in some areas. Th ebb current in Georgia Strait is generally flowing NW to SE.ebb?
Do you also have?Thanks guys,
I will be picking these books up this afternoon.
dont stay to close to coast..2to 3 miles will give you shore breeses as far as just below hornby..then hard to sayLooking for information to sail from Vancouver to Hornby Island. Any advice? is it best to hug the coast along to Sechelt and cross to Parksville and head to Hornby?
Hey mdh... no worries. If an SN user has filled out his profile info they will have listed their boat. Ideally everyone will put that into their signature, so no one has to dig, but if it's in their profile you get there by clicking on the user name and selecting ' view public profile'.Hey Faster, Hi. Sorry for bumping this old thread. Just curious as to how you know the poster was sailing a C27?
As I too am the proud new owner of an old C27 I am always interested in meeting fellow Catalina people. I am in Parksville and will be sailing to Hornby tomorrow morning![]()
Thanks Faster (Ron?). Truth is I am whimping out and have booked a transient slip at Ford cove for Friday night. I have yet to drop an anchorHey mdh... no worries.

You complete your profile info (and signature line(s)) in your User CP.
Looks like a good weekend for Tribune.. NW winds predicted throughout.
Too bad.. truth is, you won't find much better holding nor an easier anchoring situation than Tribune bay in a light to moderate NW wind. Flat bottom for a long ways, just go in until you're in less than 20 feet of depth, you should pull off the beach no problem.Thanks Faster (Ron?).
