Have you completed the CANSail 1&2 or the Old Salt Test but still looking to take your sailing up a notch? An intermediate course may be just the thing.
Our intermediate courses are based on the CANSail standard set out by the CYA. The CANSail 3 or 4 certifications awarded at the end of a successful course are recognized nationally by the CYA. Courses are capped at 7 boats (14 students).
CANSail 3 is a fantastic experience for members interested in participating in racing, or those who simply want to push their skills to the next level.
All courses start at the club and take place in Toronto's Outer Harbour. The cities mentioned in each course title is just a name to differentiate the courses.
All students must be club members before registering. Furthermore, CANSail 1&2 or a successful J-Town Old Salt Test Level 1 are required to enroll.
