Sailing School

We offer Learn to Sail courses for Children and Youth  (as a sailing camp) and for Adults (evening or weekend courses) meeting Canadian Yachting association standards. For 2012 we are offering the improved CYA CanSail Program. More details are on the The Learn-to-Sail  page. This program teaches the skills necessary to handle small boats called dinghies Typically dinghies range for 6 feet to 18 feet in length, sailed by one or two people, have no cabin and are used for day sailing.
A dinghy requires the weight of the skipper/crew to keep the boat upright and prevent it from capsizing.

We also offer courses  meeting CYA Learn to Cruise Levels for adults aboard keelboats. A keelboat is larger in size then a dinghy. It has a large (lead or steel) fin attached to the bottom of the boat, called a keel, that does the work of keeping the boat upright. A keelboat ususally has a motor, cabin with sleeping, eating and toilet facilities. Keelboats can be used for extended trips.
