This yacht sail is an amazing way to experience Halifax harbour! Guests are encouraged to become involved in the experience by helping to set the main, jib, or assisting with the tacks as they make their way through the wind. If the conditions permit on the downwind, the massive spinnaker will be set. Feel free to don a PFD and make your way to the bow to enjoy the sights, and lay down to watch the jib pass overtop of you! A wide variety of Nova Scotia wine, beer and spirits are available onboard.
