We run four practices per week and sailors are required to attend two.

Practices run from 3:30 pm until sunset and we leave the downtown campus at 2:30 pm.

The season runs from the first week of September to the first week of November, and we also send teams to regattas in the spring and summer.

Sailors are also guaranteed at least two-weekend regattas during the fall season, which consist of driving to the host club Friday night, racing Saturday and Sunday, and driving home Sunday evening.

Additionally, sailors are expected to volunteer at two to three events in-season, and are expected to participate in morning workouts in the offseason.

Yes! Unfortunately, they will only be able to compete within the Canadian circuit, but they are welcome on the team.

Yes. We are an entirely self-funded team. Team dues are usually around $800 annually and cover: a collegiate membership with Pointe-Claire Yacht Club, transportation and accommodation at all regattas, boat repair, coaching, and other assorted costs. However, we do recognize that it is not within everyone’s ability to pay full team dues — if the cost is an issue for you, please let us know and we will work something out.
