Sailboats Provided |

All sailing courses are taught using 6 new 420’s (4 meters, 20 centimeters long) purchased with the assistance from the CYA’s (Canadian Yachting Association) R.C. Stevenson Boat Loan fund. The focus of the program is to provide individuals with the basic proficiency to become a competent sailor who may continue to develop as a personal boat owner, use club boats at member clubs or crew with others. Instructors/coaches will either be in the sailboat with the students or in a coach boat. |

What will I Need |
|
|
|
For the safety of participants and all those that go on the water, we are mandated by the Canadian Coast Guard to have life jackets on board. Some jackets are available for participants but they may also be purchased locally. Rubber soled or running shoes are good footwear. Remember, it may be cooler on the water. A wet suit, if you should own one, will ensure your warmth on the water. Also bring extra clothing and shoes to stay warm. A nylon shell jacket is a good idea. |
