The MSA is currently recruiting sailors to compete in the 2008 Manitoba Summer Games at Lake Stephenfield, located near Carmen, from August 14-17. The Games are geared toward sailors who have some experience in the sport, but have not yet seen success at the racing level.
The goal of the Games is to introduce sailors to competition, build relationships within the sailing community and give sailors an opportunity to experience a games-style atmosphere.
Games information available on the website

If the Games are something you and your sailor are interested in, please contact, Jordan Crowley at 925-5648 or sailingadmin@sport.mb.ca
The Games are Manitoba’s largest ongoing multi-sport program bringing together participants from across the province. The Games are held every two years and alternate between summer and winter sports events. Each set of Games involve upwards of 10,000 athletes, coaches, officials and volunteers.
Manitoba is divided in seven regions: Interlake, Eastman, Westman, Central, Parkland Norman and Winnipeg. For the sailing event each region in Manitoba will send a team of two boys and two girls as well as a coach and a manager, of whom one of them has to be female. The host region (Central) will have an additional team competing. In total sailing will have 48 participants at the Games.
The sailing event in this multi sport competition is held at Lake Stephenfield, which is located 20 km west of Carmen in the Stephenfield Provincial Park. The event will be sailed in Vanguard prams. Eligible are young sailors between the age of 10-15 this year. This competition is not a high performance event and the regions are asked to send sailors who are ready to race in the green fleet. Kids who have already raced in age class events should not be sent to this competition.
