sail“Come Sail With Us”. That’s the name of the Blue Sky Sailing Club’s event coming up on Sunday, which invites people who have always wanted to try sailing to give it a try for free.

PR/Social Director Lyn Vuorimaki says it’s an introduction to sailing and points out the Blue Sky Sailing Club offers sailing without having to own your own boat.

They also offer lessons, starting with the basic 10 hour course which sees people qualify to take out one of the club’s boats on their own.

Vuorimaki says Lake Nipissing is a great lake to get experience on because it’s so varied.

She says “you can go out and it’s very still, and suddenly you’re in big winds and big waves, so you get some tremendous experience on Lake Nipissing as to how to sail, in really any conditions.”

Meantime, reservations are required for Sunday’s free event, which goes from noon to 4pm and is for adults only.
