What They Say
Quotes from Salty Dogs
"I am a citizen of the most beautiful nation on earth. A nation whose laws are harsh yet simple, a nation that never cheats, which is immense and without borders, where life is lived in the present. In this limitless nation, this nation of wind, light, and peace, there is no other ruler besides the sea."
Bernard Moitessier

KLSA Youth Program now a reality!
The Kootenay Lake Youth Sailing Association through the Youth Sailing Program provides sailing opportunities for children and enables the youth of the West Kootenay region to get out on the water and enjoy the challenge and excitement of the sport of sailing in a positive, supportive and safe environment. The Kootenay Lake Youth Sailing Program is in demand in this community as demonstrated by the tremendous success in 2010, achieving the highest ever community involvement of any first year Youth Sailing program in British Columbia supported by BC Sailing, graduating 60 children.
