Derek Breakwell
Derek has been sailing at SGB for the past 8 summers. In 2016, he began coaching as a CANSail 1/2 coach. He credits his positive sailing experiences at SGB with helping him become the sailor and coach that he currently is. Derek is looking forward to another unforgettable summer in his four year of coaching.
In the summer Derek can be found at the family cottage on Lake Eugenia sailing, water skiing, jet skiing, wakeboarding and anything else you can think of on a boat.

He has had a lot of sailing experience in the Caribbean where he lived, and has been sailing since he was seven years old. He has races primarily in optimists, but has also sailed in RS Visions, Lasers, and 420s.
