New Brunswick Sailing Resources

🇨🇦 New Brunswick — Sailing Resources

New Brunswick sailing is defined by the Bay of Fundy — home of the world’s highest tides (up to 16 metres). Timing passages around tidal cycles is essential. The Saint John River offers excellent protected freshwater sailing well inland from the dramatic Fundy coast.
