About
Take your sailing to the next level with CANSail 2! Designed for returning campers, this two-week course builds on the fundamentals learned in CANSail 1 and introduces new skills to help sailors become independent, capable and ready for more adventure on the water.
Guided by our experienced Sail Canada–certified instructors, campers will refine their technique in tacking, gybing, sail trim and upwind sailing, while learning new concepts such as right-of-way rules, docking and on-water problem solving. The course emphasizes both fun and skill development, combining on-water drills, short races and engaging land-based lessons that make learning exciting and interactive.
By the end of the program, sailors will feel confident sailing their dinghy in moderate conditions — a major step in their sailing journey and an achievement to be proud of!
Next step: Continue your sailing journey with CANSail 3 & 4 — a four-week advanced program running July 6–31 and August 4–28. Visit the THNC website to sign up and keep your sailing adventure going.
