Okanagan Sail Week

Okanagan Sail Week

August 11 - 20, 2017 on Okanagan Lake

Okanagan Sail Week (OSW) is about inspiring the fun of all sail sports on Okanagan Lake. It’s where novice and pro sailors, kite-boarders, windsurfers etc. can organize an event and the volunteer Okanagan Sail Week crew will promote it to the public and international sailing communities.

To start we have several sailing regattas and fun sails planned throughout the week. If you have a sail powered activity that could be a good fit with OSW, contact us here.

Okanagan Sail Week is like a Baker’s Dozen… it begins on August 11th and ends on the 20th! This gives people options for two weekends to choose from, or to take in all 9 days! Keep posted for updates and registrations to our events on this site!
