Host Club: Port Credit Yacht Club Mississauga , ON

Sailing continues to be a core sport in the Ontario Summer Games. This year we are excited to announce that Port Credit Yacht Club will be the host club of the Games from August 11-13 2016.

Games are great events to participate as an athlete and a coach. Athletes stay as a team and the Games experience includes high level coaching from our Provincial Coaching Team, all food, accommodations (shared room with another sailing athlete), transportation to and from the residence and the Club.

Athletes and their clubs need to supply their boats, and there is an opportunity for a limited number of coaches from Clubs to join the coaching staff and be part of a mentorship program building on their own skills as a coach.

1) Open to boats of the 420 class with spinnaker, and Laser Radial.
