Regional championships cover Canada

More than 300 young Canadian sailors will be in action as Sail Canada holds its three regional championships: Sail East, Sail Central, and Sail West. The three regional championships provide an opportunity for sailors to train and compete with high-level sailors in their region in the Optimist, ILCA 4, ILCA 6, ILCA 7, Club 420, and 29er classes.

In addition, the events serve as talent identification opportunities for regional and provincial sailing teams, along with training, development, and mentoring opportunities for coaches, officials, and volunteers.
