On 4 weekends throughout June, DYC is offering introductory sailing programs for youth focusing on CANSail I & II instruction.  Saturdays will be for sailors ages 8-11 and Sundays will be for sailors ages 12-17. All weekend courses will start at 10 am and run until 2:30 pm.  Sailors will meet the instructors at Lakeside Beach in an area near the water behind the park washrooms.

Throughout July and August DYC will be offering weekday sailing programs in one and two-week durations.  Each day is from 9am until 4pm. Sailors will meet the instructors at the Learn to Sail building by the DYC clubhouse.  See our course selection page for more  details.

DYC’s adult keelboat program follows entry-level Standards of Sail Canada Standards.  This entry-level builds basic sailing skills with a focus on the operation of the vessel as crew. Candidates completing this Standard will be able to competently contribute as crew to the operation of a keelboat in moderate daytime conditions. This Standard is recommended for those with little sailing experience who want to build basic sailing skills in a relaxed environment and at a comfortable pace. It is envisioned that the course objectives can be met within the 3-week framework offered. Courses will be run Monday and Thursday evenings in May, June, and July from 6 - 9, August from 5:30 - 8:30
