Here is an important measurement document which you can download, to prepare competitors for smooth arrival, measurement, and registration at PCYC mid-September for the 2017 J/24 Worlds. Keith Reilly and Joe Macdonald (official Canadian J/24 Measurer), two of our PCYC volunteer members, have efficiently organized the process for the 2017 driveHG.ca J/24 Worlds, along with Tim Winger, Chairman of the IJCA Technical Committee.

Some hotel deadline dates are coming soon, so don’t miss your opportunities:

Marriott Residence Inn is holding their $149/night Studio Suite special (can sleep 5 with a kitchen) until Aug.18;

Comfort Inn is holding rooms until end of August, and even cheaper if you’re putting 3-5 in a room (squishier, though). Two bed rooms are $85 plus $10/head over two people;

Waterside is posh and popular, and on Lakeshore;

Green Acres is in walking distance, fairly priced, and also on Lakeshore.

There is no camping on club property, or on Promenade Park property. Camping facilities are noted on the website at the link above.

Here are your Sailing Instructions for J/24 Worlds 2017!

Can’t get any more Canadian for Canada150 than Steam Whistle Pilsner. Brewed right in Toronto at the original CN Roundhouse beside the CN Tower, “three fired guys” formed this popular Canadian brewery in 1998 (see if you can find 3FG on your bottle). Thanks to Steam Whistle Brewery for coming on board to support J/24 sailing at PCYC 2017 Worlds!
