The Round Bowen Race is our most popular event. There are normally 100+ plus boats registered, and with only 1 start, makes it one of the largest single starts on the west coast. The race involves the circumnavigation of Bowen island and takes place on the 2nd Saturday in June. The race begins at 10:00am PDT, and the latest finishing time is 17:30 PDT same day.
Did you know that 100% of the proceeds from the Round Bowen Race go to supporting BIYC’s Learn2Sail Program which has been bringing new sailors into the community for over 30 years?
