PURPOSE // The NorthStar Locker

Over the past three years, the team has donated hundreds of pieces of used team gear to the weCANfoil program, giving this gear a new up-cycled life, as part of the NorthStar Locker program.

In turn, weCANfoil athletes are generously donating used gear to other sailing programs across the country. Working together we can reduce waste, give gear a longer lifespan and help out other young sailors.

Sail Nova Scotia will be collecting donations at the Halifax Boat Show this Saturday. Drop off something useful and enter into a draw to win an official team issue NorthStar SailGP Team hat!

We encourage our fans to set up a NorthStar Locker program at your club. Get one, give one! Email us at to share your ideas.
