Glenmore Sailing Club - Keelboat Education Comparison

The Glenmore Reservoir is not yet open. Work is being done to get the Reservoir opened for recreational sailing this summer.

Youth Summer Camps and Adult Keelboat lessons are cancelled this year due to COVID-19. We are processing full refunds (once we have started the process, the banks can take up to three weeks to get funds back onto your card, thanks for your patience).

We will provide further updates as the season progresses.

Note 1: The Glenmore Sailing Club covers Basic Cruising Standard content through two Modules. Upon completion of both Modules, participants who have demonstrated all the required competencies will receive their Basic Cruising Standard.

Keelboat Skipper - covers skippering a keelboat when lake sailing. This is the minimum requirement to sail the Club's Co-op keelboats independently.
Keelboat Cruising - covers navigation, tides and other coastal sailing content.

Note 2: While courses generally cover the same content, there may be some differences. Sail Canada Instructors can ensure that candidates have the opportunity to review content in areas they may be lacking if needed.
