CANSail 1&2

Picture
Based on the curriculum of the internationally recognized Canadian Yachting Association (now Sail Canada) Learn to Sail Program, CANSail level 1 & 2 are the first steps to becoming a proficient sailor. The lessons cover all the basics that are required to safely and easily handle a boat in up to 9 knots of wind. And, if you’re unsure of what a “knot” is, we’ll clear that up too.

CANSail 3 &4

Picture
CANSail 3 & 4 are levels where sailors are introduced to advanced sailing techniques, including sail trim, boat tuning, boat maintenance, trapezing and the use of the spinnaker. After completing these levels, sailors are competent in winds up to 13 knots.

CANSail 5 & 6

Picture
CANSail 5 & 6 are the first completely racing oriented level of the CYA program. Sailing in up to 18 knots of wind, sailors will learn the roll tack, advanced boat handling, racing rules, tactics and strategy. Sailors will also take part in local club races and regattas as a practical application of their skills. Sailors may sail the 420's provided by the club, or if they have their own boat, they are welcome to use it as well.
