Join the Club
Picture yourself cutting across the water under the power of the wind, sails billowing as your boat glides across the lake. Whether you are a novice sailor, seasoned pro, seeking the adventure of sailboat racing or relaxing on a leisurely sail or paddle, jump on board and discover the joy of an outdoor activity that promises to open a whole new world for you and your family.
The Wabamun Sailing Club is set on two acres of lakefront property on the north shore of Lake Wabamun at Rich’s Point. The Club features lovely amenities that include a modern clubhouse, boat and locker storage, a tenting area, ample parking and more.
The types of boats sailed at the Club are dinghies, catamarans, and cruisers. Non-sailing members are also enjoying paddleboards, kayaks, and canoes. The Club welcomes both racing and non-racing sailors as well as paddlers as members.
The Club is a non-profit society run by an enthusiastic group of members who volunteer their time to organize and run a variety of activities for members. At WSC you will experience both a sport and a lifestyle. WSC is a small club so it’s easy to get to know everyone and quickly feel at home.
If you are keen to have fun sailing or paddling, develop your watersport skills, participate in weekend sailboat racing, regattas, socialize with like-minded individuals and contribute volunteer time, WSC is the Club for you.
Club Activities
Club activities commence in early May and continue through the Thanksgiving weekend. The Club is busiest on weekends with casual sailing, racing, training programs, paddling, and socializing. Social activities, such as monthly pot-luck dinners and a year-end Thanksgiving dinner, are an excellent way to get to know other members. The Commodore’s Banquet in November closes out the year with an awards presentation for sailing excellence.
Club volunteers run organized weekend racing throughout the season. The Club is well equipped to run races and the safety of members, whether they are racing, pleasure sailing or paddling, is and will remain a high priority.
WSC is an active participant in Alberta and Canada’s sailing community. Various junior, student and novice sailor training courses are organized for members depending on the season’s demand. The WSC Sailing School also offers sailing lessons for all ages on Club Boats. A free sailboat loan program is available for members who may not yet have access to a sailboat.
The Club annually also hosts its own Founders’ Regatta and usually one regional or national regatta per season.
In 2017, WSC hosted the Volvo Laser Masters’ Canadian Championship, enjoy this video montage.
