I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed your sailing class. It was such a wonderful experience! I didn't know sailing could be so peaceful and also so exciting.

Learn the basics or heighten your skills. We cover basic boating safety and handling, basic navigational skills, and sailing theory. Demonstration of tacking, gybing, running, heaving to and all other standard sailing maneuvers are taught step by step. And you'll work toward the skill sets required to obtain Canadian Yachting Association White Sails Levels 1,2 and 3.

Lifejackets are provided, but the participant may bring their own if desired. Other classroom activities include knot tying, anchor types and anchoring techniques. We'll also cover vessel types and designations and an introduction to some of the latest boat types and designs that are bringing sailing to a whole new level throughout the world today. In case of a stretch of unusual bad weather makeup lessons will be provided.
