At the corner of Abbot Street & Bernard Avenue, The Sails are right on the shore of Okanagan Lake.
Spirit Of Sail is arguably the most iconic landmark in Kelowna. In fact, it is the basis for our own Welcome to Kelowna logo! More commonly referred to as The Sails, this 40 foot tall sculpture was installed in 1978 and weighs in at a hefty 4,000 pounds. This beloved public artwork was created by a well-known local sculptor, Robert Dow Reid, who is also the mastermind behind another Downtown Kelowna landmark, Rhapsody (Or, The Dolphins, as they are more commonly known) as well as various other public works throughout our city.
The Sails are constructed of fiberglass and the large-scale work can be found at the foot of Bernard Avenue, along Waterfront street. This beautiful sculpture acts as a beacon for locals and tourists alike, and is commonly used as a reference or meeting point for people.

Given that this camera updates every minute, one need only stand at the coordinates for about two minutes to ensure that they're captured on a minimum of one frame. Unfortunately, though it's possible to replay the day, it only replays as a movie, one minute per frame, and can't be shuttled, though it can be started and stopped. This means that one will need the help of another person at their computer to visit the webcam.
Alternatively, if one has an internet connection in their hand tuned to the URL below, they only need wait until they appear on their screen, then save that frame.
