The Squamish Wind Machine: Explained. 💨🏔️

Ever wonder why the Howe Sound is world-famous for sailing? It’s all about the Thermal. While other places are waiting for a breeze, our midday "inflow" kicks in like clockwork. The sun heats the land, the air rises, and the cool ocean breeze rushes in to fill the gap. The result? Consistent, reliable, and high-adrenaline sailing every single afternoon. ⛵️🔥

⛵ Whistler Regatta 2025 ⛵

This past weekend our sailors have been competing at Alta Lake for the annual Whistler Regatta! Two days of racing in the mountains made for an incredible experience, with everyone showing great effort and sportsmanship out on the water. Just taking part in such a fun and competitive event was an achievement in itself 👏

A special shout-out to Mica, who finished 2nd in the Opti White class, and to Conal, who took 3rd in the Opti White class 🏅 Well done to both of you, and to all our SYC sailors who raced hard and supported each other all weekend!

Thanks to for hosting such a welcoming and well-run regatta 🌊⛰️
