Program Details

Wind Athletes Canada supports some of Canada’s sailors who compete in Olympic and Paralympic Classes. In addition to specific assistance to particular athletes for things like coaching and travel, we maintain a residence in Weymouth England a few minutes drive to the sailing venue that will host the 2012 Olympic Sailing Events. This gives the sailors a comfortable home base while they obtain that critical site specific knowledge that will make a big difference when Olympic hardware is on the line.

Wind Athletes maintains a fleet of boats that are used both by the top contenders in the Olympic and Paralympic classes and to assist promising young athletes making a transition into an Olympic Class. We also have several coach boats that are available for the coaches working with our athletes.

The RS:X (Women’s Windsurfer) is one of the boat classes to be used as equipment for the 10 sailing events at the 2012 London Olympic Games.
