SAILING AND KAYAKING
RCSCC St Lawrence has access to 420 dinghy sailboats and 27’ Service whalers, and canoes through the local cadet nautical site, canoes and Branch owned kayaks which cadets can sail for free under the supervision of our qualified, experienced staff. These boats give young people another way to learn skills like leadership and cooperation, as well as sailing and navigation.
St Lawrence sailors are some of the best in Canada. We are very proud of the efforts of our sailing team, and this activity is open to everyone. Every cadets gets the chance to learn the CANSAIL programme and progress based on interest skills, aptitude and discipline to practice. Some cadets get the chance to hone their skills and learn about racing through our summer training courses. We try to expose our cadets to sailing regattas (live and virtual). Last year a St Lawrence team represented Ontario at the 2019 NATIONAL SEA CADET REGATTA held here in Kingston, Ontario; placing within the top ten.
The cadet sailing program is a FREE activity; one of the best things sea cadets has to offer. Many cadets spend every summer on the water sailing and making friends from all over Canada.
