Kingston, December 17, 2024 – Sail Canada announced today that its 2025 Sail East Regional Championships will be held July 17-20 at the St. Margaret Sailing Club in Nova Scotia.
The event will feature two training days ahead of the competition scheduled for Saturday, July 19th, and Sunday, July 20th.
Sail Canada’s three regional championships provide an opportunity for sailors to train and compete with high-level sailors in their region in the U15 category (Optimist class ILCA 4, ILCA 6, ILCA 7, Club 420, 29er and WASZP classes). In addition, this event serves as talent identification opportunities for regional and provincial sailing teams, along with training, development and mentoring opportunities for coaches, officials and volunteers.
Sail Canada Sail East Championships is aimed for sailors from the Atlantic provinces and Newfoundland and Labrador, yet athletes from other provinces are welcome. Last year, over 200 sailors took part in the event held still at the St. Margaret Sailing Club.
