Update:
Good morning everyone!
A quick update on this week's Eastern Lake Ontario cruise, YCA Floatchella, & SSCA Gam:
We're proceeding exactly as planned.
There is no skippers meeting and we are not sailing in convoy. Meet up at the designated locations however you like.
Sunday (today) we will be between Garden Island and Marysville Wolfe Island. The lead boat (Maverick V) plans to arrive shortly after noon, give or take an hour. YCA friends meet there!
Monday morning we will move to Brakey Bay Wolfe Island, arriving noon-ish. SSCA friends meet there!
Tuesday we will work our way up to Confederation Basin. Dinner with CanBoat & friends will be at 1800 (6pm) at Tir Nan Og Irish Pub beside Kingston City Hall. All are welcome.
If you signed up for CBYC's Wednesday dinner then you will have already heard back from the Whites about the details (if not, reply here and I'll put you in touch).
At all locations, lead boat s/v Maverick V will be monitoring VHF 06 & 16 and checking for replies to this email. Maverick V is a white C&C 35-2, sail KC267, MMSI 316031962, with a blue sail cover and flying a Canadian flag from the backstay plus CanBoat, SSCA, CBYC, YCA, and Pride flags from the spreaders.
Original Info
SSCA is looking to the Great White North! Join us on the water on
June 29, 2026 near Brakey Bay, Wolfe Island, Ontario (reference waypoint: L 44°13.8’ N Lo 076°13.6’ W). We’ll anchor around noon-ish, weather permitting. (If it’s a bad nor’easter then we may relocate to Gander Creek.) This is a great chance to talk about destinations, boats equipment, travel tips, and more while meeting new friends from the Lake Ontario & Thousand Islands region.
We’ll join up with the cruising fleet of Collins Bay Yacht Club, which is leading the event. And, if you’ve got a few days to spare, you can come early for the YCA Floatchella on Sunday or meet up with CanBoat (your friendly local Power & Sail Squadrons) at one of Kingston’s finest pubs for Tuesday dinner.
RSVP - Feel free to just show up on a whim, as always, but if you want to let the organizers know you’re coming – drop us a line via the form at
