Training

Sailing is a pursuit enjoyed by many as a sport and pastime. Our Sailing School promotes the continued development of sailing skills from beginner through advance. We employ CANSail Level 3-4 certified instructors who provide instruction from our Clubhouse and on the water in Topper Topaz and Optimist dinghy Sailboats.

Our programs and courses are open to children and adults.  Camp-style day classes are provided in 1-2 week programs for children and adolescents, and evening & weekend courses are available to adolescents and adults.

CANSail programming means lots of time on the water in a safe, fun and active learning environment, with relatively less time spent in a classroom. Sailors learn the skills and enter into fun and challenging experiences suited to their age and stage of development. The programming is designed to get - and keep - sailors excited about sailing for life!

Classes take place at the Great Slave Sailing Club, adjacent to the Giant Mine Boat Launch on the old Highway 4 past the Ski Club.

Come see us at the Yellowknife Chamber Spring Trade Show! We will have courses available for booking in May 2025 for the season!
