Collingwood (CA) - Collingwood (CA)

The sailing Ship Playfair will take you out to discover the eastern shores of the Georgian Bay. You will have the chance to exlore some of the many tiny islands in this area and enjoy the sailing adventure. This is a perfect way to spend your holidays actively and in nature! Embarkation and disembarkation will both be in Collingwood, making it easier to make travel arrangements. Open to young Windseekers aged 13-18 only.

Ports

Collingwood is a city on the Georgian Bay in Canadian province of Ontario. It was named after Admiral Cuthbert Collingwood, Lord Nelson’s second in command. Most of Collingwood’s attractions revolve around the beautiful nature surrounding it. Visit the Sunset Point Park to, well, watch the sun set, or rent a bike for a tour of the Georgian Trail. There’s also a Collingwood Museum in a charming restored railway station.
