Port Credit Yacht Club, located on Lake Ontario, has an emerging Learn to Sail Racing program that has youth sailors participating in various International events.

Over a dozen PCYC sailors made their way to Miami over the Christmas break to train and compete in the US’s largest Christmas season youth regatta – Orange Bowl. Despite the challenging travel restrictions, PCYC sent two trailers of boats and over a dozen sailors were able to compete in three classes – Opti, Laser and 29ers. PCYC had a top 10 result in 29ers and a top 15 in Opti!
