National Training Centre - Prairie Region

Gimli Yacht Club - Gimli, MB
Gimli Manitoba is the home of Sail Canada’s National Training Centre - Prairie Region. Sail Canada and Sail Manitoba have designated Gimli Yacht Club, located on beautiful Lake Winnipeg, as one of only 4 national training centres in Canada. National Training Centres are designed to develop high-performance sailing athletes, coaches, and officials, with the goal of identifying talent early and providing systematic training for international success.
Critical to developing talent is the ability to host regattas locally. A well equipped training centre can provide athletes the ability to travel to regattas without the logistics and expense of transporting boats, rigging, and other gear, making participation more practical and improving the competition levels overall.
This is a really critical initiative that will help develop the sport of sailing in the prairies, and continue to contribute to Canada’s rich history of international success in the sport of sailing.
