Start Keelboat Sailing
Learn to Sail


Sailing is a great activity for anyone who enjoys water sports or outdoor recreation. As both a recreational pastime and an exhilarating sport, sailing offers something for everyone... regardless of age, gender or physical ability.

Start Keelboat Sailing participants learn through on-land instruction and on-the-water time in a keelboat with a SailCanada accredited instructor.

Lessons provide a fun and engaging learning opportunity and a chance to try before you buy.

Our lessons are taught by experienced sailors with, in some cases, decades of sailing experience. They distill their knowledge down to the essential elements you need to know to have a memorable learning experience and set you up for success if you want to continue sailing.
The boats we use for our Adult Keelboat lessons are the SanJuan 21. The local fleet of these boats is the largest and most active in North America.

What is my next step?

Continue learning about the sails on a keelboat with the Keelboat Spinnaker Course.

This course builds on the Start Keelboat Sailing course and teaches how to work with a spinnaker in light to moderate wind.
