Course Descriptions


Saturday's OC6 Nationals Short  and Long Course events will be determined based on the conditions on the day of the event. Traditionally these courses start from the Comox Marina heading into the Harbour and out around the buoys towards Denman Island and back. 

The Small Boat event will also be determined on the day of the event based on conditions but is usually between 10 and 12 kilometers and will consist of a mixture of protected and open water.

We will have trailer spots reserved on Friday night and Saturday night at the Comox Marina Boat Launch. You may leave your rigs here overnight both nights if you wish but please be aware that although we feel security is not an issue, there will be no continuous supervision on-site and we can't guarantee the safety of your equipment. We do have options for storage at private properties - email comoxvalleycanoerclub@gmail.com​ for details.
