KSC Closing Day was Oct. 18, when we brought up and de-rigged the last of the big boats (photo below) and dis-assembled the dock.

Massive thanks owed to all who turned out to help both this weekend and the previous weekend’s Pre-Closing Day.

Notification to KSC members about the Annual Meeting (Nov. 26, 7 p.m.) will be going out very soon. It’s an event not to be missed, when you learn what’s been going on behind the scenes!

Glorious October 5th day for a Twelve Mile Island rounding!

The season has not yet ended!

September has been a happening month at KSC! Members have been seizing opportunities to head out to catch our mighty fine fall weather. Last weekend: trapezing on a club monohull. Olivier and Chu showing how it’s done.

Thanks Sail Canada Voile Canada for getting the word out! We are celebrating our 50th anniversary this year!

And we have a refreshed fleet, new dock and rescue craft, a most picturesque site on the mighty Ottawa River, and …. just as when KSC first launched in 1975, you don’t need to own your own boat with our membership and volunteerism model.

Small boat and catamaran sailing is what it’s all about. We hope that came across in the interview:
