-Wear Your PFD or lifejacket
-Boat Sober
-Be prepared, You and Your Vessel
-Take a Boating Course
-Be Aware of the Dangers of Cold Water Immersion

Happy International Women’s Day! ⛵💙

Today we celebrate the incredible women who sail, lead, learn, volunteer, and build community at the Great Slave Sailing Club.

From experienced racers and cruising sailors to new members discovering the joy of being on the water, women continue to shape and strengthen our sailing community. Your skill, courage, mentorship, and love for the lake inspire the next generation of sailors.

Here’s to the women at the helm, the crew trimming sails, and those cheering from the dock — today and every day. 🌊⚓
