Sailing runs on people who show up
Regattas, clubs and Sail Manitoba itself are built by volunteers. Here is where you can plug in, whether you have an afternoon or a decade.
Find a role that fits
Race officials
Run the start line, score the race or sit on the jury. Sail Canada trains and certifies officials, and clubs run race official courses.
Coaches and instructors
Teach lessons at a club or travel with the provincial team.
Club boards and committees
Member clubs are run by volunteer boards, and each club sends a representative to the Sail Manitoba board.
Regatta helpers
Safety boats, registration desks, barbecues and billets: hosting a regatta takes the whole club.
Safe sport comes first
Anyone who works with young sailors follows the same rules.
Screening
Complete the application screening and disclosure form. The screening guide explains each step.
Training
Take a safe sport module. The Coaching Association of Canada module is free.
Rule of two
Never be alone with a young sailor out of sight of others. The infographic shows how it works in practice.
