Sailing is great strength and cardiovascular workout that helps improve concentration and awareness of your surroundings. Sailing is a relaxing pastime. Learning to sail builds confidence while providing a great sense of accomplishment.

Students learn basic boat knowledge and water safety while developing the skills to become comfortable in a sailing environment.

All staff at the Glenmore Sailing School are trained in Intermediate First Aid and CPR. They are Sail Canada certified, knowledgeable, and active members of the sailing community who are enthusiastic about sharing their passion for sailing.

Expect teamwork, fun, and a safe learning experience. Personal Flotation Devices are worn at all times, both on and near the water. Additionally, Glenmore Boat Patrol is always on duty, ready to help during lessons.

All CANSail programs are run in dinghies (small one-person to three-person boats).  The best way to learn is to get on the water as soon as possible, so expect to begin sailing right away. Students will spend some time at the helm and some time as crew.

Evening classes are available for adult students who have completed CANSail 2 and wish to continue improving by enrolling in our CANSail 3&4 program. This combined class is open to a variety of advanced skill levels.

The school provide boats, lifejackets, and all safety equipment. Students are required to bring:

• closed-toed non-slip footwear
• a change of clothes, including underwear
• sunscreen
• rain gear such as a rain jacket or rain pants, according to weather
• water bottle
• packed medal/snacks or go offsite to purchase food
