The Yukon Breeze Sailing Society is a non-profit organization with a mandate to provide Yukon residents with an opportunity to learn basic, advance, and racing sailing skills, while promoting safe boating practices and developing a Northern sailing community.
Every summer, we offer children and adult programs from our location on Schwatka Lake in Whitehorse, Yukon. We offer sailing camp for kids aged 8 to 14. For adults we offer weekly drop-in dinghy sailing and have adult lessons. We are also hosting evening sailing races and weekend regattas this summer.
Our Fleet
-
Optimists
Our fleet contains 7 Optimists (also known as ‘Optis’). These boats are a kids camp favourite and perfect for younger sailors looking to get their feet wet.
-
Lasers
Our fleet contains 7 Lasers. These boats are great for adults who are learning to sail and also experienced adults looking to race in a regatta. We have both radial and standard sails for these boats.
-
Flying Juniors
Our fleet contains 4 Flying Juniors (or FJs). These boats are our society’s only double-handed boats. These boats are new to us this summer and are we ever excited to get them out on the water!
