NSC is the proud recipient of the 2013 William Abbott Senior Trophy, awarded by Sail Canada for the Sail Training Program of the Year. This trophy will be presented on February 28th at the Sail Canada Rolex Sailor of the Year Awards in Toronto.
Kerri Weller, NSC’s Director of Sail Training, had this to say upon being informed of our winning:
“On behalf of the fantastic instructor team at NSC’s Sail Training Centre, NSC Directors, staff and volunteers, thank you so much. We are deeply honoured to have received this award.
“Hugh McGugan, our Learn to Sail Director 2011-2013, deserves much credit for his leadership on this portfolio. Amie Renaud, our Head Instructor 2012-2013, and her team have been instrumental in the delivery of a great sail training program. Finally, Peter Wood, Fraser Robidoux and the ABLE Sail volunteer crew give tirelessly to volunteer their sailing and racing expertise to the Able Sail and the Paralympic programs.
“I am so very proud of our sail training team, volunteers and sailors!”
