Lessons - 3hr Introductory Sailing Lesson

We have condensed our highly successful 7hr Learn to Sail in a Day program to highlight the best parts of sailing.

This entry level Sail Canada course is taught on our specially designed First 22.  This course is intended to provide novice boaters the opportunity to experience the joys of sailing in a relaxed and safe environment. 

Sailors will participate in:

1. Reviewing basic safety when participating as crew.

2. Preparation of boat for departure.

3. Departure from dock as crew.
4. Assist in activities required to sail while underway - including raising and lowering sails, sail trim, helming.

5. Returning to dock as crew.

This 3hr class provides a great opportunity for first time sailors to get out on the water with an experienced instructor . With minimal  learning objectives this course can be easily adapted to meet the comfort level of first time boaters or more experienced individuals.

Transport Canada Notice

These training sessions will require short periods of moderate upper body exertion, and a moderate level of arm strength. Participants will have the opportunity to experience sun, wind, spray, rain, and temperatures consistent with the time of year they take part in this activity. When underway the vessel may exhibit irregular motion due to wind and waves and temperatures may be cooler than on land. Participants will be expected to learn and demonstrate skills and perform tasks while the vessel is at the dock, at anchor, and when the vessel is underway. In a day sailing format, vessels will be underway for varying periods of time (up to 8 hours), during daylight, in light to moderate wind and sea conditions. These sessions are suitable for most fitness levels and will provide a good body core workout.
