MSC - Return to Racing

As Peel region has entered Stage Three the MSC Executive have decided racing can commence.

The racing will not be run as a series to avoid creating a "league" this will allow skippers and crew to race in other events. Skippers and Crew are required to be compliant with the “Reopening Ontario – Stage 3” framework. This means proper distancing and use of face coverings where and when appropriate.

Free Online Sailing Course Hosted by Kingston Yacht Club

Since COVID19 has caused many programs available to children and youth this summer to be cancelled, including our offering of Ontario Sailing’s BOOM program the Kingston Yacht Club Academy (https://academy.kingstonyachtclub.com) has created a new innovative way to learn and improve sailing and water knowledge online.

Through interactive Zoom seminars, virtual regattas and videos lessons participants can stay engaged and occupied throughout the summer. The most amazing thing about this generous offer from KYC is it’s all offered at no cost.

If you are interested in this offer visit the KYC Academy website linked above.

We Are Open! Let's Get Out On the Lake.

The City of Mississauga has finally granted us permission to go to the Club, work on our boats and go sailing! The City and your executive are still very concerned about COVID-19 and want to encourage everyone to take every precaution possible to protect those around you.

We are sourcing hand sanitizer, wipes and a disinfectant spray to have available at the Club. Please bring your own supply just in case.

A summary of the membership guidelines that have been agreed to with the City has been distributed via a member email. We ask that you follow them very closely. Please reach out to your executive if you'd like a copy.

It is imperative that all members follow the screening guidelines as instructed. If in doubt, don’t come out!

Thank you very much for your patience and understanding in this very trying time.
