Gavin started Can-Sail when he was four years of age at the Pelican Yacht Club. His first year on the water he was hooked! He continued to take CANSail lessons every summer after that. Sometimes doing up to three weeks of sailing lessons in a summer. Gavin attended his first regatta, Little Bird, when he was seven and remember it raining the entire day. Gavin lives straight across the road from the Yacht Club and this gives him a lot of opportunities and access to such a great club. Gavin rigs his Opti right in the front yard and wheels it across the road, right into the water. Other than sailing Gavin loves fishing, summer and winter, hunting, camping and playing hockey. Gavin joined the Manitoba Provincial Sailing Team two years ago and is excited for a more competitive season coming up.
