Curious about sailing?

A one-day, hands-on introduction to keelboat sailing designed to give you a real feel for structured learning before committing to a full course.

We meet at Fox & Monocle at Canoe Cove at 9:00 am for introductions, then head to the boat. You'll be on the water until approximately 1:30 pm.

What to bring

Packed lunch
Layers for warmth (it's cooler on the water than on land)
Rain jacket if rain is forecast
Shoes with soft, grippy soles (sneakers work great)
Sun protection: well-fitting hat, sunglasses, sunscreen

What you'll experience

This is sailing for first-timers and folks returning to the sport but no experience needed. You'll help with basic tasks, feel what it's like to be on a sailboat, and get a taste of what sailing involves.

Sessions end with a conversation about:

What you learned
Your sailing goals
Next steps if you want to keep learning
