Junior Sailing
| Summer sailing has now finished up - Fall sailing begins September 5th!
It has been a wonderful summer of junior program sailing at KYC! The coaches have thoroughly enjoyed coaching all the sailors. There have been around 290 sailors who sailed with KYC this summer, including record numbers of Opti Beginner and Wetfeet sailors. This is great for the future of sailing at Kingston Yacht Club and Canadian Sailing.
| Immigrant Services - Kingston Sailing Evening
On Thursday evening, around 20 youth immigrants aged 11 - 17, had the opportunity to go sailing at KYC for a couple of hours. We had 3 420s and Jessie out on the lake with coaches who kindly volunteered their coaching time and expertise. All the coaches thoroughly enjoyed it! It was a beautiful evening with 4-6 knots of breeze. Most of the youth had never sailed before so really enjoyed the new experience. Special thanks to Coach James Hickey, Emily Butler, Emma Piczonka, Sam Fumat, and James Rountree for helping out!

Fall Training allows sailors to extend their sailing season and gain more structured, meaningful time on the water. This allows sailors to improve their sailing skills while further developing their passion for sailing.
Fall Sailing will occur on Tuesdays and Sundays for the month of September and just into October. For the LTR and Race Team sailors, CORK will be the focus regatta. For the CANSail 3 & 4, time on the water with effective coaching and reviewing checklists is the focus.
