Our sailing school is continuing to grow. Last year we had a great enrolment with well over 100 sailors enrolled in the youth sailing program. Many of the four sailing sessions were completely full, thus I encourage you to get your registration in early! We introduced some new sailboats to the program last year and are fortunate enough to add a couple of new boats again for this upcoming season. The addition of new boats will allow us to continue to offer the premiere sailing program while advancing towards the future.
We look forward to another great year as the instructors are anxious to meet all the new and returning students. Heres to blue skies and steady winds!

A new small boat committee has been formed to take care of the yacht club tenders. Members of this committee are as follows:
Keith Wilcox, Steve Duffy, Ernie Neufeld, Norm Farrow and Shawn Reid.
A key box and sign out sheet has been mounted in the area of the harbour lockers.
