Queen's Sailing

We are a competitive and recreational sailing club at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario.

We sail double-handed in 420 and Flying Junior fleets, and also individually in Lasers. We have an active keelboat team that competes internationally, a bunch of skiff-sailing racers, and a rockin' Recreational Sailing Club for more casual sailing.

Our home court is at the Kingston Yacht Club. We sail on the windy waters of Kingston Harbour. KYC is so close to Queen’s main campus you can walk to practice.

We have a full-time coach, and we have awesome support from our Yacht Club. We are constantly improving, and Queen's is leading the way as a model for collegiate sailing in Canada.

The Varsity Sailing Club

We race as part of the Inter-Collegiate Sailing Association (ICSA) in the Middle Atlantic district (MAISA) against major sailing schools like Georgetown and the US Naval Academy.

We also race against Canadian Universities as part of CICSA.
