START KEELBOAT SAILING

 

The Sail Canada Start Keelboat Sailing course is an entry-level program designed to introduce beginners to keelboat sailing. It is part of Sail Canada’s Learn to Cruise pathway and provides a hands-on introduction to sailing on a keelboat in a safe and enjoyable environment.

OBJECTIVE: In this Sail Canada course you will be introduced to the language of sailing.  In a relaxed environment, we will show you the principals of how a sailboat moves through the water using the wind. You will learn about basic seamanship skills, boat handling under sail and power, boat safety equipment & how to tie some popular sailing knots.  By the end of this course, you will be able to act as crew to safely sail in familiar waters on a small sailboat in moderate wind and sea conditions by day
