You’ll receive 3 hours of expert instruction from Kate Thomas and her fellow instructors. The clinic is open to anyone 17 years or older and it will cost $75/person.

Sturgeon Lake Sailing Club hosting the MIDS August 6th-7th
The Point continues to be an active place, even after last weekend’s busy Regatta weekend .The SLSC is hosting the 2011 Mid Ontario Regatta this weekend. This is a competitive event that attracts many young sailors from all over the Province, year after year. As a result you’ll probably notice some additional activity this weekend, both on and off the water.
The SLSC has a great reputation for putting on the regattas, and the hospitality that Sturgeon Point shows every year plays an important role. Thanks to all of you who are billeting, feeding, or otherwise helping all of the sailors and visitors to our Village this weekend.
Let’s hope for sun and wind!

Sturgeon Lake Sailing Club Awarded Regatta of the YEAR!
On January 28, 2011, the Canadian Yachting Association announced that Sturgeon Lake Sailing Club was the winner of the 2010 CYA Regatta of the Year. The CYA City of Kingston Regatta of the Year Award will be presented by CYA to SLSC for its hosting of the 2010 Canadian Laser Masters Championships that took place over 3 days of great sailing in July 2010.
The Masters Regatta involved a huge effort from an army of Sturgeon volunteers – it was in every way a community wide effort. Many people provided beds to the sailors; many prepared the community breakfasts and dinners; many were on the water helping out; the harbour team got boats launched and back to shore; the scorers were timely; the prizes were wonderful…The masters sailors – aged 35 to 77- raved about the accommodations, about the meals, about the racing, about the surroundings and above all about how organized and helpful and friendly the volunteers were. The Sailing Club extends a giant thank you to everyone who pitched in to make this regatta what it was – the best in Canada for 2010!
