MEOTA — Sask Sail Mobile Sailing School is coming to Meota July 15 to 19. This is a wonderful opportunity that doesn’t come around every year.

Last year Meota’s Sailing Lessons were well attended and Sask Sail recommended that we offer lessons this summer again.

Anyone 12 years old can register as a beginner and learn to sail alongside adults. You can register online at . Look for Sask Mobile sailing school. There are still spaces available and we have enough registered that the lessons are definitely a go.

Sask Sail brings out five training sailboats. These boats accommodate two sailors. This year participants will also learn how to rig and sail Meota's Razor One sailboats. This means that you’ll be able to borrow Meota Lakefront Paddle and Sail equipment following the lessons. These boats are available to members on a first come first serve basis. You’ve now got the whole summer to practice on sailboats that are available.

Participants will learn what all the parts of a sailboat are called, rig the sailboat, launch it and figure out how to work with the wind. Sask Sail instructors follow all the activity from a zodiac safety boat and coach participants on how to get the most out of the wind, as well as controlling direction and enjoying the ride. Sailing can be very challenging but it also is very enjoyable if you know what you’re doing. For more information, you can contact the Meota Lakefront Paddle and Sail Commodore, Trudy Janssens at 306-374-0843.
