A list of boats who have applied will be provided to BC Sailing for cross referencing OPSC priority registration.

The appropriate course for 2025 Van Isle 360 participants will be the Offshore Personal Survival Course Offshore (OPSC).  All of the information that people need about the course, including when and how to register, is online at Offshore Personal Survival Course.  Schedules for up to five OPSC classes are posted on the website.
