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.
