Youth Race Team

The GSC Youth Race Team provides youth sailors opportunities to get an introduction to sailboat racing.

Why is racing important?
Racing empowers youth through an active lifestyle. Kids have opportunities to observe and assess the growth of their sailing skills to builds their confidence and continually improving their sailing. Although racing is competitive, kids build friendships and community while going through similar experiences.

The Club offers a significant discount off first year registration fees for youth joining our Youth Team.

The Junior Race Team (ages 5 to 14) sail the Optimist dinghy. The Opti is a competitive fleet nationally and internationally, and the majority of recent Olympic sailors began sailing in an Opti.

The Senior Race Team (ages 14 - 18) progress to sailing the Laser (4.7, Radial and Full sail), the 420 (double handed sailing), the 29er (double handed racing skiff) and the SanJuan 21 keelboat. 


Race Team Information

The Youth Race Team gives kids with some sailing experience the opportunity to step into racing. We encourage a fun and safe learning environment.

Youth sailors participate in social, fitness and educational activities to build the team dynamic and individual skills while learning about sailing.

Training nights are Operating on two evenings per week, and almost every other weekend, throughout the season (May thru Sept) the program provides participants with equipment, coaching, and logistical support while introducing them to the competitive aspects of dinghy sailing.

Weekly Training
Every week from early May until late August youth training runs from 6-9 pm.

  • The Junior Team trains Monday evenings.
  • The Senior Team trains Tuesday evenings.

Wednesday Night Racing
Both Junior and Senior Teams participate in Wednesday Night Racing to utilize learned skills and be part of the larger sailing community. Our coaches are out with the Team for WNR May through September as part of the ongoing training program. 


Regattas and Training Camps
The Team participates in the following training camps and regattas supported by the Club's coaches to support the ongoing sailor development with age and skill appropriate training opportunities. The best way to develop sailing and racing skills is to participate in racing. 

  • Training Camp #1 – TBD

  • Training Camp #3 – TBD
  • Ice Breaker Regatta – Calgary Yacht Club
  • Founders Regatta – Wabamun Sailing Club

Additional training and racing opportunities, both in and out of province, may be added to the schedule based on youth and parent interest.
