The Canadian Yachting Association's Learn to Sail standards provide safe standardized instruction for recreation and competition in sailing dinghies.

The following programs/schedule are available for 2008:

• Evening Program
• Weekend Program
• Weekday Program
• Drop-In Program

White Sail I, II and III are the introductory levels.  You can expect to learn sailing terminology, points of sail, tacking, gybing, righting a capsized boat and knots.  Upon completion of White Sail you will be able to confidently skipper your own small sailboat.

Bronze Sail IV covers advanced sailing techniques, including sail trim, boat tuning, boat maintenance, rules of the road and trapezing.  After completing the bronze levels sailors are competent in winds up to 25 km/hr.

White Sail I and II classes are taught on our Escapes and Pirates. White Sail III and Bronze IV are taught on Laser IIs and Lasers.
