FACS Cruising

2009 Cruising

We need someone to step forward and coordinate the next FACS cruise.

Past FACS Cruises

FACS organizes one or two flotilla sailing cruises per year. The annual spring cruise is a chance for winter-locked Alberta sailors to get a jump on the season each spring. Some years, a second trip has been scheduled for mid-summer for those who prefer to wait for a warmer cruising experience. These trips are great fun. Contact our Cruising Director for more information.
