Martin 16 Training Camp (7-8 August)
The camp will be led by Ontario Able Sail Coach Sarah Urquart, assisted by a number of top coaches. We plan a number of lectures and workshops, as well as on-water drills and practice racing. The camp will be organized into Gold and Silver groups according to your sailing background.
 
Offshore and One-Design Regatta (9-10 August)
The Ontario Martin 16 provincial championships will be part of the largest annual regatta event in North America, attracting sailors from all over North America and the world. Martins will sail their own course, according to established Martin culture.
