Sailing is one of the sports slated to be part of the 2024 Manitoba Summer Games in the Dauphin region.
The sailing competition will take place at Manipogo Provincial Park, and will feature two age groups - 13 and under and 14-17 years old.
Paul Krestanowich is a board member with Sail Manitoba, and he hopes the competition will spark more people in our region to take up sailing.
"Dauphin, Parkland, Yellowhead region they have a few sailors but they're maybe not as large of number as some parts of the province. Manipogo is going to have a learn to sail course this summer, and I'm hoping going forward that's every summer.
Krestanowich says each participant will face a minimum of seven races over the course of the sailing competition at the Manitoba Summer Games, which are set for August 11-17.
