The sun has set on our last practice and our preparations leading up to the IDBF Club Crew World Championships in Hualien, Taiwan.

Some FCM paddlers have already arrived in Taiwan, some are en route, and some will join the rest once they are finished racing in Singapore.

Now we look ahead with anticipation for what the Worlds will hold, and the races and opportunities of the next two weeks. We also look back at all of our hard work, sacrifices, dedication, and effort that got us here.

A huge THANK YOU to all of our families, friends, and supporters - we couldn’t have gotten here without your support, and your understanding for our many absences and crazy schedules, and supporting our fundraising efforts, and cheering us on at every turn!

False Creek Masters, the time is now! Let’s GO!!!

IMPORTANT - BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR “THE SINGAPORE SIX”

This infamous group of BadA** Butterflies, was most recently spotted in and around the IVF Va’a World Sprint Championships in Marina Bay, Singapore.

They have been collaborating with other kicka** women under the aliases of: Ocean Spirit, GFC Nuggets, Wahoos, and Sleni Wave Warriors. Have also been seen in the company of two suspicious males found under their own alias of P360.

Don’t let those smiles fool you.

Approach with Stealth and Speed as the Singapore 6 will leave you in their wash.

Had a fantastic weekend at the Vancouver Island Dragon Boat Festival, through the Fairway Gorge Paddling Club, in Victoria July 25 & 26!

The two day regatta consisted of a variety of race formats!

Day 1 began with a 500m race, followed by a 200m back-to-back with a 100m (basically a turn-and-go), and ended with a 100m knockout race that started with 6 teams - in which the FC Masters won gold.

Day 2 started with the 1500m guts and glory, in which the Masters paddled strong to end in first place. Next up was the flag relay - a new experience for the team. The day and weekend ended with a 500m, with the FCM coming in 1st in the Women’s Division Final with a strong time of 2:07.15 (2min 7.15sec) and a gold medal!

This regatta was an excellent opportunity to execute everything we’ve been working on over the past year in preparation for competing in the Worlds in Taiwan in a few short weeks. From our focus both in and out of the boat, our technique, our timing, to pushing through every stroke with the strength and determination we all have.

It was a great weekend of racing, team building, making new friends and catching up with old friends!

Next stop Taiwan!!

Last weekend it was time for the annual Burnwater Spring Sprint!

The weather was perfect and no big boats crashed the course this year!

New this year, the race format was three 200m races per team. Paddling to be positioned in the Women’s Division A Final, in what was almost a photo finish, the team brought home the bronze!! 💪

Stay tuned to hear about what some of our teammates were up to over the past two days…

A great day was had by all at the Inlet Spring Regatta 2026. Athletes paddled in four 200m sprints over the course of the day.

The FC Masters ended the day paddling hard through the Women’s Kingfisher Division A final, to bring home the silver “woodle” medal (icon of the Inlet Spring Regatta).

Bonus - this year’s regatta didn’t have any unexpected delays and we had lots of water to paddle in!

Next up Burnwater Spring Sprint - May 2nd!
