BASIC SAILING COURSES
The easiest way to learn is by doing, so our courses are designed to maximize practical experience. Key points are covered in classroom sessions, but 80% of your time will be spent on the water.
Our basic sailing courses follow the internationally recognized curriculum which was designed by Sail Canada. Start with CANSail 1 and work your way up.
Following your introductory course we have a variety of options available to further your development, whether you want to cruise coastal waters, race in local regattas or simply sail a small boat around English Bay.
