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!
