developing your sailing skills. Our programs are fun, safe, and
exciting, whether you are a novice or experienced sailor. All of our
program instructors are trained and certified by the Canadian
Yachting Association (CYA) and hold both First Aid and CPR

on the water, our motorized coach boats are always nearby and of
course PFD's or lifejackets, which the sailors themselves must
supply, are mandatory at all times.

classes are for newcomers to sailing. There are three levels and
participants progress through each as they build their knowledge,
skill, and confidence. Time is divided between on-the-water lessons
and land-based instruction on theory, weather and seamanship. On the
water, the focus is on practical boat-handling skills.
Sailing is not just about learning the skills - we recognize that
having fun and making new friends is what summer is all about. We'll
