What to Expect on your Sailing course
Time on the water in Saskatchewan always feels too short. As such, we want to spend as little time in the classroom as possible to maximize time on the water. We operate in small ratios (Max 10 trainees per course) to ensure you get the assistance you need. All skills will be explained and demonstrated before going on the water. That includes capsizing! With the beautiful Saskatchewan summers and fun experience of Sailing, you can expect to be in the water everyday.
On a typical 3-hour lesson, you can expect to;
- Assist with rigging your own boat and prepare for the water session ahead.
- Join in a briefing with a plan for the day with local factors and weather taken in to consideration
- Launch boats into the water
- Learn a new water skill for 25 – 35 minutes.
- Return to shore, evaluate skill, prepare for another.

BSSC members are from all walks of life, sharing one common interest – the love of sailing. Some members have their own boats, some use the club boats, some race and some just sail recreationally. Others prefer getting the barbecue going while watching the races from the clubhouse deck high above the lake. There’s also a rumor that some members head out to the lake in the middle of winter to go ice sailing . . .
The Blackstrap Sailing Club is a member driven organization relying on our members’ energy and skills to exist. All members are expected to give volunteer time towards the club, whether it be helping with planned events and regattas, general upkeep of BSSC property or serving on the Executive.

All athletes, of any sport, need a way to compete. Sailing is no different. Having a competitive opportunity encourages participation, development, training programs, and more.
Throughout the province; between all SSCA clubs, there are approximately 150 races sailed every summer.
There will be sailors who have just completed Mobile Sailing School (or equivalent) and there will be sailors who have been sailing for several seasons and already competing at a provincial level. One of the best things about sailing is regattas always have sailors of mixed abilities and experience. Sailors will regularly notice the same sailors, of similar abilities to their own, at similar parts of the race course.
