Basic Sailing Courses

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.
