The Sailing School, established in 1965 when the club first formed, is open to everyone who wishes to discover the challenge and excitement of sailing. The school offers instruction from Wet Feet (Optimist - Ages 6 -10) through CANSail 1 to CANSail 4 (Age 9 -15). All programs are taught to the Sail Canada standards and all of our instructor staff are Sail Canada certified. 

Once again this year, we are offering all parents/ guardians of the students enrolled in our Youth Learn to Sail programs, all the benefits of a social club membership (known as an Associate member) until the end of the calendar year to enjoy the many club facilities and events.

Learn to Sail at the CYC emphasizes:
