Preparations are well under way for the High Liner Foods IFDSWorlds in 2014 at the Royal Nova Scotia Yacht Squadron. With over 175 years of sailing tradition and an energetic membership, RNSYS is a key part of the active sailing community in Halifax. Their world-class facilities coupled with the great sailing conditions of the area helped the IFDS committee realize RNSYS was a natural choice for the 2014 worlds event.

Hotel deals for competitors, coaches, families and anyone attending the event can be found on the accommodations page.

We’re also pleased to be supported by all levels of Government, municipal, provincial and federal. Click here to view the welcome letter from the Honourable Stephen McNeil, Premier of Nova Scotia.
