Learn to Sail


Adult and Youth lessons

Some of our sailors in Gore Bay, as well as one of our instructors!

Little Current Yacht Club, under the direction of Ontario Sailing, is offering the 2024 CANSail program.

 CANSail programming is designed to be a set of progressive Learn-to-Sail standards focused on providing sailors with a solid foundation of core skills. The CANSail system allows sailors to learn and progress in any type of boat and consolidate key skills before adding more complex skills. This year, we are proud to be offering CANSail Levels 1 thru 4!

Last year, we had over 90 sailors out on the water, with many kids sailing multiple weeks! This summer we are looking to expand, and offering sailing in Sault St. Marie as well!

Additionally this year, we are travelling to Sault Ste. Marie to partner with the Algoma Sailing club to offer lessons there for a week, August 26th to 30th! Details can be found on the Algoma Sailing Club website!
