Dearest NSC Members, families and friends, I wanted to share a very personal story from long time members Greg Dargavel and Pam Hopkins-Dargavel. Their children have been brought up at NSC over the years and all of them have supplied countless hours as volunteers and staff for all things boating. They need our help!

NSC is remarkably young as sailing clubs go, but the history of how NSC emerged from a shallow part of Graham Bay to become one of Canada’s largest and most active sailing clubs is a remarkable story worth sharing. Hence, we have created a new History page.
NSC is very fortunate to have a large collection of attractive trophies and we are now pleased to be able to present these in a new Virtual Trophy Gallery. View our trophies from every angle, learn the history of where they came from, and read who has won them over the years.
We are thrilled to announce that Nepean Sailing Club has received a grant for $1500 from the Ottawa Sport Council Foundation, for our ABLE Sail program, to further develop inclusive programming in Ottawa while embracing the True Sport Principles. This is to assist in COVID-19 recovery effort.
At the 2020 AGM on December 16th, the NSC Volunteer of the Year (NAVAA Trophy) was announced and virtually awarded to Rene Lessard. Rene was selected by his fellow members and volunteers for his exceptional contributions as part of the Harbour and Yard team during 2020.
At the AGM, Michele Cimon, Sail Training and Able Sail Director, announced “The Sesiya Project”. Through a generous donation from Bill James of Guelph, this fall NSC acquired a 1976 C&C 27-3 for use in our Sail Training and Able Sail Programs. See the AGM slides, or visit nsc.ca/Sesiya/ for more info.
