Choose What You'd Like To Sail Below:

Learn to Sail Keelboats

If you would like to learn how to sail on a larger and more stable boat that won't capsize, we recommend that you start with the Sail Canada Basic Cruising course which is part of the Sail Canada Learn to Cruise program.

Learn to Sail Dinghies

Dinghies are small, light boats that react quickly to your movements. Dinghies are fun, easy to launch from shore and great for learning how to sail. Sailing a dinghy requires a bit more agility and you should be comfortable getting wet. If this type of adventure sounds fun to you, then we recommend our Sail Canada CANSail 1/2 course.

Classroom Courses

Sailing Theory, Navigation, VHF radio and more. In person, online and self-study options are available.
