2012 Changes are coming to the Learn to Sail program!

Over the last few years, CYA and the Provincial Sailing Associations have worked to revise and refine the systems and programs that develop sailors from entry level to competency and to membership of provincial and national sailing teams. Under the framework of Long Term Sailor Development*, every aspect of sailing development has been examined to ensure age and developmental stage-appropriate progression of learning and experience of sailing as a fun and active lifestyle path. 

The revised Learn to Sail system is now called CANSail.  CANSail Programs refer specifically to the delivery of training in dinghies at CYA's member club sailing schools, such as the Little Current Yacht Club.

LCYC is working towards implementing these programs according to CYA guidlines, so stay tuned for more information as we receive it. Schedules will be set up as soon as we are able to post.
