What is MacSkills ?
During this 4 hour on the water day sail, we will review most key aspects of general seamanship and basic safety, along with practical hands-on participation that include; casting off and docking, boat handling and piloting, navigation, marine etiquette, VHF radios, and an introduction to sailing and boat balance. We also review the differences between the late model sport hulls (X, M) that allow planning ability and higher speeds verses the displacement hull models (S, D).
We highly recommended this 4 hour day sail for people who are new to boating, new to sailing, but also for those who have previous keel boat experience so as to understand the functions of adjustable keels and retractable rudders and water ballast verses lead keel ballast. This session is also a prerequisite for those wanting to sail with us on our MacFoulie. This is not a substitute for certified instruction.

Welcome to the home of the Macgregor Yacht Club of British Columbia. We are a group of present and past Macgregor Yacht and Tattoo Yacht owners. Most of our members are in British Columbia, Canada, although we do have members from other places in Canada and the USA.
We organize on and off the water activities for owners of Macgregor and Tattoo boats; regattas, cruises, flotillas and our annual all member get together ‘MacRendezvous’. Members share tips, ideas, and hard-come-by knowledge about how to maximize the joy of owning these wonderfully affordable boats.
MYCBC membership provides you with full access to all areas of the website and the ability to participate in all activities. The modest, annual membership fee is $65 for the first year (which includes a club burgie and welcome package) and $35 per year thereafter. Membership in the club is recognized at marine stores and marinas for discounts on supplies and moorage. We also have negotiated discount insurance coverage for members. The saving you can expect will pay back your membership fee manyfold.
