Situated on the northeast coast of Vancouver Island, and adjacent to the Broughton Archipelago in Port McNeill, @northislandmarina caters to yachts up to 285’. The marina also reflects the convenience of the community as a must-stop for mariners with its in-berth fueling system for its guests. No more pulling into a marina and jockeying for position on the fuel dock before settling after a long day cruising. Just pull into berth with the helpful staff to catch your lines, schedule your fueling for the next day and head right into happy hour. The marina also has its own chandlery and laundromat located right at the head of the dock. Designed with service in mind, North Island Marina and Port McNeill are one of the most convenient stops along the inside passage and “the Gateway to the Broughton Archipelago.”
The Elan 37 Hindsight made a good recovery after a slow start to chase down the J109 Going to Red a couple of minutes into the racing out of the Quoile Yacht Club. Hindsight gybe shortly after this to split the course with the rest of the fleet, this turned out be a smart move as they headed for the counter tide on the Portaferry shore of Strangford lough. They did not look great early as the rest of the fleet stayed high and in pressure, as the leg went on it became clear that they would lead at the Bottom Mark. Hindsight stretched out to a lead by over over two minutes, GTR fort hard on the next beat to chase the leader down, going on to win the race. The team at bottom up boats hope you are enjoying these short clips of racing action from the 2024 season.
