Pictou County Sailing School

Learn to Sail Program for Junior / Adult

Sailing lessons run through the summer for kids from age 9, adults. The goal of this program is to promote excellence in sailing skills in an atmosphere of enthusiasm and love of the sport. The course is taught according to the Canadian Yachting Association's standards emphasizing safety, theory, boat handling, sportsmanship, and for those so inclined, competitive sailing. The prime objective is to learn to sail safely and competently for personal enjoyment and fellowship.

Boats and Equipment

Training is delivered using a fleet of Optimist, Laser2, 420, and CL11 Dinghies. Privately owned insured boats may be used. All privately owned boats must be approved by PCSS.

PCSS will supply a personal flotation device (PFD) for each student’s use. However students may bring their own approved PFD. Students should bring a change of cloths, hat and sun screen. It is recommended that students bring a copy of the CYA sailing hand book (available to purchase from PCSS). Students may also bring wetsuits, sailing boots, and gloves.

Instructors

Our instructors are Canadian Yachting Association certified.
