• Sailing our 1966 Rhodes Offshore 40 flagship s/y Jilàsi in the
Great Lakes Challenge 2019
• Progressing 40 youth from our programming to Toronto Brigantine’s to
strengthen scope of training, and
• Preparing a youth crew to sail the LO300 race before 2021.
This plan comes with need for support. Broad Reach needs Captains, Lead Hands,
and Crew for our Summer Afloat. More sailors mean less burn-out, more help,
and more impact. We need to strengthen the impact of our Winter Ashore
activities such as cardboard boat races, March break PCOC workshops, organising
regattas and fundraising events.
This year we are bringing back the long-standing tradition celebrating the Spring
Thaw at The Boulevard Club on Saturday March 30 th . This worthy tradition celebrates
accomplished sailors in our community and helps younger ones develop their skills.
Please join us!
The disadvantaged youth we serve would never have the joy and experience of sailing
had it not been for the sailing community’s support and for that, we are deeply grateful.
The generosity of sailors is what we value. Sail training charities have not had much
success sustaining their work in the GTA and yet, in our first 20 years, Broad Reach
has sustained itself and accomplished a lot with the generosity that has been offered
to us, year after year.
So, when you sail the milestone race that is the 30 th LO300 Challenge spare a thought
for the kids that can only dream about such experience and who get but a glimpse of
it on one of the Broad Reach boats.
Wishing you all a wonderful race.
Let’s Sail it Forward for Youth – together!
