Ready to take your sailing to the next level?

Our CANSail 1 & 2 program is designed for sailors who have some previous experience and are ready to build confidence, improve their skills, and work toward nationally recognized Sail Canada certification.

This three-session course is ideal for:

• Pinawa Sailing Club or other club members
• Returning participants from last year’s sailing school
• Sailors with basic sailing experience looking to advance their skills

Participants will receive instruction from Sail Manitoba certified instructors and will work on the practical skills and knowledge required to achieve CANSail Level 1 or Level 2, depending on their experience and demonstrated ability.

Throughout the course, sailors will develop skills in:

• Points of sail
• Tacking and gybing
