THANK YOU

We are eternally grateful to the local businesses that support our annual Blackline Patos Island Race.  Even though our race is smaller by comparison to other events on the Vancouver Island Racing Series, the Sidney North Saanich Yacht Club is proud to host this very popular event that includes traditional club hospitality and challenging long-distance overnight racing conditions.  Many of our sponsors return each year to provide their support by offering gift prizes and/or financial support.  The partnership and key role of our valued sponsors with SNSYC contributes directly to the success and popularity of this event.

Our thanks again to our Title Sponsor Blackline Marine Inc., and to our other major sponsors that include Westport Marina and Westport Yacht Sales, Oak Bay Marine Group, Gartside Marine Engines, Bevan Dental, Leitch & McBride Sailmakers, Lighthouse Brewing, Trotac Marine, Van Isle Marina and Canoe Cove Marina.  Our prize sponsors also include All Bay Marine Supply, McLean’s Chandlery, Mary’s Blue Moon Café, Stonehouse Pub and the Surly Mermaid.

Our success in hosting this event is largely due to our dedicated club volunteers. The SNSYC 2025 Patos planning committee included Stephen Trivett, Heather Meads, Warren White, Karin Wunderlich, Gary Langstaff, Eric Ommundsen, and Lindsay Bradshaw. We extend our sincere gratitude for their exceptional dedication to making our race a highly regarded event in the Vancouver Island Racing Series.  

Finally, we extend our gratitude to Kevin Crawford, Chair of the Blackline Patos Island Race, for his meticulous attention to detail in overseeing the event.
