Held on the weekend of 21 and 22 September 2024, the Annual Fall Sailboat races on Isthmus Bay had 12 boats competing on day one for the Ken Hodge Cup. Named after a former Harbour Master at the Lion’s Head Marina, the Cup was awarded to the Elusive and the Pleiades. 

On Saturday, the Elusive and the Pleiades each had a 1st and 2nd place finish, competing against 10 other sail boats in two races. 

The 3rd race of the Hodge Cup series held on Sunday was ultimately called off since no boats could finish due to lack of wind; this resulted in a tie for the Hodge Cup, based on Saturday’s results. The Winners for 2024 of the Hodge Cup was a tie between the Elusive and the Pleiades.

In keeping with their annual tradition the sailors donated almost $1,000.00 to the Terry Fox Run.
