Introduction to Sailing

This is one of the entry levels in the series of Sail Canada courses on sailing keelboats and on cruising. This course is the recommended starting point for individuals with minimal practical on-water experience.

Candidates completing this course 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 boating or sailing experience that want to experience sailing on a keelboat and begin building basic sailing skills in a relaxed environment and at a comfortable pace.
