⛵ RKYC IS HITTING NATIONAL TV! 🇨🇦📺

We’ve been keeping this one under wraps… 👀

Royal Kennebeccasis Yacht Club will be making an appearance on The Amazing Race Canada!

The Glass Girls recently revealed they’ll be featured on the show, and part of their adventure was filmed right here at RKYC! ⛵️

It’s pretty exciting to see our little corner of the Saint John River — and our club — featured on one of Canada’s biggest television shows.

📺 Tune in Tuesday, September 1st to CTV and keep your eyes open for some familiar RKYC scenery!

A very cool moment for our club and another opportunity to showcase sailing and our beautiful community to people across Canada. 🇨🇦⛵️

Who’s watching?! 👀

We sure are! 😎😊

There’s something special about watching a sailboat move quietly across the water.

Whether you’re a lifelong sailor or just enjoy spending time by the river, we hope this little glimpse of life at RKYC brings a smile to your day.

The cannon fired, the sails were raised, and another season is officially underway.

Sail Past at the RKYC — a long-standing tradition that celebrates the beginning of another boating season on the beautiful Kennebecasis River.

Thank you to everyone who came out to watch and support from shore. Whether you’re a lifelong sailor or simply enjoy seeing boats on the water, moments like these are what make our local boating community so special.

Here’s to fair winds, warm sunsets, and a fantastic season ahead.

In the first photo, there’s a lot of work on the go getting the boats ready for the water.

Why would do club members spend the time, energy, and let’s be honest, money to do such a thing?

Well the 2nd photo should easily explain why.

Sunsets at the club have been greatly missed.

Enjoy!
