Kairos Racing

Kairos Racing is thrilled to announce our team for our first inshore pathway project - the New York Yacht Club Regattas inaugural Women’s International Championship.

We’ve brought together athletes that reflect the depth of talent within Nova Scotia - offshore racers, Olympic athletes, SailGP strategists and inshore specialists.

We can’t wait to represent Nova Scotia and Canada against some of the very best female crews in the world this September.

Thank you to everyone who has supported us so far, including Sail Nova Scotia , Support4Sport , North44 Yacht Sales , Suzuki Marine Canada , The Binnacle .

We’re just getting started and need your help. If you would like to join our community of support, please visit our page on WindAthletes (link in bio).

Kairos Racing Winter Series: Tuning Essentials-Part Two
Wednesday February 25, 2026 ⋅ 7pm – 8:30pm (Atlantic Time - Halifax)
We are excited to host the second session of our Kairos Racing Winter Series - Tuning Essentials! In this session, Andreas Josenhans and Drew Mitchell from North Sails will expand on the concepts covered in Part One of our series and will focus on applied theories, using tuning guides, practical systems and tips for getting your boat into the performance sweet spot.
The goal of this session is to help translate tuning theory into applicable processes that you can use each day setting your boat up, balancing forces and getting it to “swim,” as Andreas would say!
Please DM for login details to our virtual session. Looking forward to seeing you all there!
