The Junior Sailing Program has a great staff of sailing instructors anxious to teach and inspire your youngsters in a program with something to suit all aspiring young sailors!
Our wish is to accommodate the growing demand we have experienced in the Junior Sailing program. Our priority remains the safety of the children as well as well-maintained equipment, knowledgeable and friendly instructors providing quality instruction to your children.
Junior Sailing Programs
The program is based on the Canadian Yachting Association's seven level “Learn To Sail” program. The C.Y.A. standards provide safe, standardized instruction for recreation and competition in sailing dinghies. Students are instructed in sailing theory, sailing technique and care and maintenance of the boats. Priority is given to on-water practice of these skills. Eligibility
The course is open to junior members who are at least 8 years old for White Sail I, II and III and not over 16 years old as of June 1st, 2008 . The children must also pass a swimming test. Space in the program is limited to ensure the safety of the children and the quality of the instruction.
