Confidence Boosting Clinics

Are you lacking some specific boating skills like docking, anchoring, sail handling, heavy air manoeuvres or applying skills on your particular boat that you learned during your course? Then maybe one of our sailing clinics is for you.

Our Clinics:

Introduction to Sailing 3 Hour Clinic

Enjoy a fun and relaxing 3-hour (or longer) experience on the water with your Sail Canada instructor as your skipper.  Under the guidance of your instructor, you can take your turn steering the boat, adjusting the sails or more if you wish, for a more “hands-on” experience.

Docking 101

Need practice docking? Spend an evening with a Sail Canada instructor on the water docking and boat handling in a confined area while practicing docking maneuvers.

Mileage Builder Courses 

Build confidence and grow your sailing skills at the helm and on the water with the support of a Sail Canada instructor-coach. Whether you’re looking to refresh your skills, log miles, or gain experience on longer passages and larger cruising boats, these hands-on courses offers practical learning in a supportive environment. Available in Ottawa, the Kingston area, and the Caribbean.

Spinnaker Handling

Have you ever wanted to be on the foredeck (where all the action is) but are afraid you would get all the different sheets, guys and other lines tangled up? If so, this course is for you. Learn how to manage the pointy end of the boat including sail changes (white sails & spinnakers), gybing under spinnaker hoists and take downs.

Powerboat Training

Powerboat lessons

Do you know how to operate a small powerboat? Learn safety procedures, navigation, seamanship, maintenance and trouble shooting along with trailering and water sports.

Corporate Team Building

Our core focus is building high performance teams and accelerating the development of teamwork competencies. Sailing is a very team oriented sport and it provides an excellent platform for improving communication, collaboration and developing leadership capabilities required by high performance teams.
