The Mission
Quebec’s sailing community is more vibrant than ever, as a new wave of sailors emerges across the province!
This new generation is taking to the sea—young adults discovering the joys of sailing, families introducing their children to the water, and women taking the helm. This momentum extends far beyond the docks, breathing new life into organizations, businesses, and local initiatives. A fresh breeze is blowing through the industry, bringing energy, diversity, and creativity, while ensuring both the continuity and the renewal of Quebec’s maritime culture.
Expo Rendez-Voile embodies the vision of a Quebec where sailing is celebrated through impactful and unifying initiatives. It was born from a simple realization: this tight-knit, passionate community already has the momentum—it just needs a place to come together, share, and channel its collective energy.
