Charlottetown Yacht Club can open Friday, but it won't

Club hopes to be open for may long weekend.

Social Sharing

Yacht clubs and marinas on P.E.I. may open Friday as the first phase of the province's ease-back plan comes into effect, but the Charlottetown Yacht Club will not.

Officials with the club say they are about two weeks behind schedule in getting ready for the season.

Maintenance work is currently underway and a plan is being devised to ensure physical distancing is practised once the property is open, officials said.

They are planning to limit to the number of people allowed on a boat, and access to the main building will also be limited.

They plan to be open for the Victoria Day weekend, which starts May 16.

Canada Games 2025

Sail PEI  is getting ready for the 2025 C anada Games in Newfoundland!  Full details now available online.

Technical  package is now for 2025

Sailing made its first appearance on the Canada Games schedule at the 1969 Canada Summer Games in Halifax-Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. Gimli, Manitoba is one of the satellite venues for the 2017 Canada Summer Games. Sailing was one of the three sports open to able bodied and para athletes which took place on Lake Winnipeg during the first week of the 2017 Canada Summer Games.  

PEI was proud to take part. Coach Eric Degenais had been preparing for athletes for these games for several years.

The Gimli Yacht Club was the official venue for the 2017 Canada Summer Games sailing competitions. The club sits right in the heart of Gimli on 1 Avenue overlooking Lake Winnipeg. In front of the club is the marina and Gimli Seawall Gallery - a long stretch of concrete wall coloured with 72 different mural paintings. Inside the club are spaces to host community gatherings as well as a separate space for sailing school.

The yacht club first opened its doors in July 1969 when the Pan American Games came to Winnipeg and chose Gimli for its sailing competitions. Since then, the venue has hosted competitions at provincial, national, and international levels, and even hosted the Pan American Games’ sailing competitions when they returned to Winnipeg in 1999.

Sailing took place during the first week of the Games from July 30 to August 4, 2017. Sailing is one of three sports that able bodied and para athletes will participate in at the 2017 Games in three different categories:

Under 21 (no younger than 15) Male Category

Under 21 (no younger than 15) Female Category

Para Sailing Mixed Category

Check back on more details for future Canada Games, Clinics, or regattas for youth. 

Sail Canada is the governing body for sailing in Canada, and Sail PEI is the recognized not-for-profit governing body member for sailing in the province of PEI - and assists in a variety of different areas including training, instructor or athlete certification and development, including high performance and race officials. 

Sail PEI is proud to include Safe Sport as part of their ongoing role to ensure the sport of sailing has the right to participate in a safe and inclusive training and competitive environment free of abuse, harassment, or discrimination – collectively referred to as maltreatment. This right to fully enjoy the sport applies to everyone regardless of the level or type of sailing they participate in.

Safe Sport information links are available on Sail Canada's website and available by contacting Sail PEI

Instructor/ volunteer Info Meet our instructors! – Please stay tuned, further information coming soon!

Hi! My name is Max Tootle, I’m coming back for my second year as a CANSail ½ instructor and I couldn’t be more excited. I am 17  years old and am in high school in Belleville. In the winter I teach skiing at Batawa ski hill and work as a lifeguard during the fall and spring. When I started sailing I was afraid at first then I completely fell in love with the sport. I have been looking forward to another great summer of sailing and can’t wait to get started, see you soon!

Emmett Goodwin

Hi! My name is Emmett Goodwin and I will be your new CanSail 1/2 instructor this summer. I am going into grade 12 next year and I plan to pursue media arts in university. I really like history, media arts (film, graphic design, stuff like that,) and of course sailing. I have been sailing for 6 or 7 years now and I grew up learning at PEYC so it is extremely nice I get to teach the newcomers and hopefully pass down my enthusiasm about sailing. I really look forward to teaching and meeting all of you this summer!

Ho w to become a volunteer:

At PEYC we are always very grateful for volunteer assistance to run the camp. The job of our volunteers is to help assist the instructors as well as support young sailors. To become a volunteer you must have completed your CanSail 4 and be accepted by the camp director. We do have a volunteer code of conduct to ensure proper practice in the program. All volunteers over the age of eighteen (18) require a Police Background check.

How to become an instructor:

Becoming a Sail Canada certified instructor is not an easy task and includes many steps but is very rewarding! Becoming an instructor means that you get to share your love of sailing with younger kids and the satisfaction of passing on your knowledge to others.

Prerequisites to becoming an instructor are CanSail 4 certification,your boat licence (PCOC), certification in first aid and CPR. The instructor must complete an Ontario Sailing fundamentals course, a coach boat safety course, LTSD online module and finally complete your CanSail 1/2 or 3/4 clinic.

To have a clearer understanding of the steps to becoming a sailing instructor here is the link to a flow chart created by Ontario Sailing. OS New Instructor Pathway

We look forward to seeing you in 2024!!
