​CANSail I

Sailors are introduced to the basics of sailing: steering, sheeting, and boat-handling on all points of sail. The goal is to be able to sail comfortably and independently within a defined area of water. They will also learn basic theory and dry-land skills: boat parts, knots, sailing terms, etc. 
​

CANSail II

A more extensive level. In CANSail II, sailors learn to recognize changes in conditions and how they adjust their boat accordingly. They develop a high degree of control over their manoeuvres and a deeper understanding of how the boat actually functions.

CANSail II - Opti Green

This new program at SBYC, allows young and avid sailors in CANSail II to continue pursuing their level, but in the context of an Optimist, and with some early introduction to the basics of racing. This boat, to which many olympians have attributed the success of their careers, provides sailors with the best possible base of boat control and knowledge. If sailors are feeling especially keen, they are encouraged compete in the Green Fleets of the regattas that the race team will be attending- tailored for first-time opti racers.
