| Located on the
shores of Lake Winnipeg, right in the heart of Gimli,
the Gimli Yacht Club is home to a large flotilla of keelboats
and a number of dinghies. This summer, Gimli Yacht Club
will host the sailing event at the Pan American Games.
The club offers sailing lessons for children and adults
from the White Sail to Bronze Sail levels. There is
club racing every Wednesday evening for keel boaters
in a ten-race series with two flying sails and two working
sails divisions. Gimli hosts the Prairie Ocean Racing
Conference (PORC), a week-long race for keelboats in
July.
The clubhouse features a huge deck with wheelchair
access at both ends, a kitchen and dining room, showers,
washrooms, a classroom, small chandlery and lockers.
There is a landscaped lawn and sandy beach, plus designated
docking for keelboats and dinghies, with water and electrical
hook-ups. The nearby marina offers docking, pump-outs,
gas and diesel sales, plus a boat launch ramp and crane,
and winter storage.
Join the socializing at the annual banquet in mid-June
right through to the pot luck on the September long-weekend.
You'll also find a large group of keel boaters using
the barbecues and kitchen on Saturday nights at the
clubhouse.
