| Where
Sail Able Nova Scotia is located at the Dartmouth
Yacht Club situated off Burnside Park on the
Bedford Basin.
Both Bedford Basin and Halifax Harbour experience a wide
range of weather and sea conditions; but sailors can rely
on light to medium winds most days of the summer and fall.
Halifax Harbour
and Waterfront
Halifax Harbour offers some wonderful opportunities for
day tripping in small craft. There are many sites to see
from downtown Halifax and Dartmouth, to the Northwets Arm,
George's Island and even the Bedford Basin for those wishing
to have a full day of sailing.
The Free Spirit will be re-locating to
the Dartmouth Yacht Club with the start of the 2007 season.
They have not only agreed to host Sail Able but also to
co-host Mobility Cup 2007 with us. This is an exciting new
chapter for Sail Able and we couldn’t be more pleased
to begin it. DYC is located at 697 Windmill Rd, Dartmouth
in the Burnside Industrial Park. With direct access to historic
Bedford Basin and the vast open water it presents a new
perspective for our sailors. Downtown Halifax is still certainly
within sailing distance from DYC for those that wish to
see the sights.
Weather
Sail Able restricts sailing on the Freedom Independance
in winds greater than 25 km/h (13.5 knots) for safety of
participants and the boat. Up to date weather conditions
and marine forecasts can be found on the Government of Canada's
Marine
Forecast for Halifax Harbour web site.
