“What goes on in the water is the simple part. It’s the logistics on the land that are hard.”
Complete with a handful of sailboats that recently completed Swiftsure, the Van Isle 360 International Yacht Race is underway after a Saturday start in Nanaimo.
This will be the 13th edition of the biennial competition, which alternates year-by-year with the Vic-Maui yacht race. “What goes on in the water is the simple part,” Jeff Motley said. “It’s the logistics on the land that are hard.” In between, the sailors will spend time in Comox, Campbell River, Sayward, Telegraph Cove, Port Hardy, Winter Harbour, Ucluelet and Victoria before finishing back in Nanaimo on June 17. The combined total of crew members on the boats and their helpers following on land makes for about 350 people converging at each community along the way, he said.“Some people have referred to it as adult Disneyland.
