Kid Sail / WetFeet program

For all of our young eager sailors not yet old enough for our CANSail program, we offer a great opportunity to dwelve early on into the sport of sailing. It is a safe program full of fun and makes for a memorable summer activity on the water aboard our school dinghies.

(Ages 19 and over)

Adult Sail program

Our adult learn to sail program uses our fleet of 420 dinghies to provide you with an exciting sailing opportunity! With our experienced CANSail instructors helping you along, dinghy sailing is a great way to learn to sail. Sailing on a dinghy gives you the chance to be active and hands-on with everything happening on the boat. The boat is small, easy to handle and can provide an exciting sailing experience, but that also means you may get a little wet!

(Ages 9-18)
