2.4mR Next Gen Talent ID Camp 2018 – CANCELLED

Unfortunately four of the five sailors who expressed interest in attending the Nepean Sailing Club’s under 25 2.4mR training camp June 13 –15 are now unavailable due to schedule conflicts. The camp is now cancelled. Although this is disappointing I will be maintaining contact with these athletes to see how the Canadian 2.4 Class Association can assist them in the future and help them prepare for Canada Games 2021. If you have identified athletes who are planning to sail the 2.4mR in the 2021 Canada Games and wish to receive specific advice about the boat and the class they can contact us through our e-mail address [at][dot]

Dates:        June 13 – 15, 2018
Location:    Nepean Sailing Club, 3259 Carling Avenue Ottawa
Boats:    Preferably we would like you to bring your own, however we have up to four  very good 2.4mR’s that you can borrow for the camp. Unfortunately we do not have any jib boom 2.4mR boats. If needed we do have Martin 16’s as a backup.

Accommodation:    We will try to billet participants but depending on your accessibility issues you may need to reserve hotel accommodation close to the club. Hotels are available within 5 kilometers of the club (10 minute drive).

Cost of the Clinic: $ 0.00 however you will be responsible for your own meals and incidentals

Coaches:    To be determined

Travel Assistance:    We would suggest that you contact your provincial sailing association for travel assistance. They will be advised of this clinic.

Eligibility:    This camp is for sailors with a disability under the age of 26. It is targeted for sailors planning on sailing the Para mixed event at 2021 Canada Games and other national and international para sailing events.

Description:    Nepean Sailing Club on Lac Deschenes (Ottawa River) has been running accessible sailing programs for 20 years. It is a fully accessible club with a large able sail dock and four transfer lifts. It has a strong volunteer base to support its active able sail membership. The sailing area is immediately in front of the harbour entrance so courses can be set up five minutes from the able sail dock.

June 16 & 17 Nepean One Design Regatta, The 2.4mR class will have a start in this event www.nsc.ca

June 21- 24 Thomas Clagett Regatta in Newport RI. This event has the best coaching in the USA, Travel assistance is available. www.clagettregatta.org

Please let me know if you are thinking of attending and if so will you be bringing your own boat.
