FACS Cruising

FACS Spring Thaw Criuse 2013

We are beginning to plan this year's cruise. Contact the Cruising Director if you are interested. You
Members may also join in the discussion in the Forum.

 

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.
