Sail Plans or Float Plans

Leave your float plan with a responsible friend and establish a reporting schedule. Each boat will be responsible for their own float plans.

If for any reason (i.e. no cell coverage north of Campbell River) you can not report in, the coast guard, on channel 83a (the new Coast Guard working channel), will be happy to relay your message to your base.

Ken will have copies of float plans available for the next meeting (May 20th - 12:30pm)

If you would like to print out your own float plan simply select and copy all the text from the next post and paste it into a word processing document (Word). This can then be saved, edited and printed out.

Do not use 22 as either a Coast Guard channel or chat channel. The Coast Guard does not monitor it any more but still have the rights on it as a backup channel..
