Summertime and quite a few club members spent the July 18th & 19th summer weekend at the BC Multihull Society sail in on Newcastle Island.  This BC Park proved to be a great place for relaxing on the boats as well as providing BBQ facilities for a pot luck dinner Saturday night on shore.  We had a couple of Multihull designers attend so there was lots of information shared.

Port Browning Multihull Sail In

BCMS Member Patrick Spearing flys into Port Browning to pay his dues just in time before the Annual General Meeting. The talk of the beach which is usually revserved for the multihulls was overshadowed by their dramatic entrance and exit. Patrick stated that his 1970s amphibious plane has never touched salt water before.

We have the coolest members!!
