Mobile Sailing School Kicks Off 7th Year

Mobile Sailing School

July 26, 2016

For the seventh year in a row, Sail Nova Scotia has launched its Mobile Sailing Program. With a goal to bring youth sailing programs to areas of the province without, the program has introduced more than 700 kids to sailing. One of the goals too is to encourage communities to develop their own youth program and we have been successful on that in a number of communities. This year the program will visit Pictou, Antigonish, Ketch Harbour, Grand Lake and Shortts Lake. The program will be led by Ryan Davis (left) and Tom Tzagarakis.

One could be forgiven for assuming this valley was purpose-built for nautical fun, with a few delightful perks thrown in to make the area entirely irresistible (wine-tasting, anyone?).
