2009/2010 Polar Bear Series




The Polar Bear Series is a winter race series hosted by the Vancouver Rowing Club. It runs from November to March with a break around Christmas and New Years. The series typically has a strong turn out of 20+ boats in two divisions.

This will be the third year the WEASEL will be competing in the series. Last year we came in third place in our division; this year we have our sites set on first place. There is a consistent set of boats that show up to each race so the competition is personal and intensifies over the series.

The SEA WEASEL does have space for crew on this series. While the conditions can be challenging there is almost always lots of wind and makes for some exciting sailing. This is a great series to learn on so if you are new check this one out.

Crew Notes:

  1. Life Jackets are mandatory for the race so if you do not want to use the ones on my boat bring your own.
  2. Dress for the conditions: foulies, boots, and long underwear are a necessity.
  3. Warm food and drink are a good idea.
  4. We will be missing the series opener as Cheryl and I will be in Mexico.
