Battlefords Sailing Club
Located on the south shore of Jackfish Lake in the village
of Meota, the Battlefords Sailing Club has been actively promoting recreational
and competitive sailing for almost 40 years. Every summer the club offers at least
one sailing school, holds pleasure craft operator courses (qualification for obtaining
a PCO card) as requested, and hosts one of Saskatchewan's largest sailing regattas
during the long weekend in August. The Saskatchewan provincial Laser and Byte
championships are part of the regatta. In 2002, BSC's annual regatta will also
be the Canadian Yachting Association's SailWest regatta, drawing sailors from
all over Western Canada and some from the U.S. as well.
