Registration Form

Kitsilano Yacht Club offers lessons for all ages and levels of experience, in a relaxed and fun environment. Following the Canadian Yachting Association-approved programs, our certified instructors focus on giving our students maximum time on the water instead of stuck in a classroom. CYA levels are standardized across Canada and offer some of the best instruction in the world. Our classes are taught in small groups using double and single handed dinghies such as Picos, Pirates, Lasers, Laser 2s and Laser Radials. We also have a 5o5 and a Lightning for sail training.  Since we are located right on the beach next to the Kits pool, there are plenty of opportunities to learn how to beach your boat and enjoy the great atmosphere of Vancouver’s summer!
 

What to Bring?
Dinghy sailing tends to involve getting wet every time you get in the boat. Two mandatory items to bring to every class are a PFD/lifejacket and shoes or sandals to wear in the water. Please bring weather-appropriate clothing, a change of clothes and a towel for afterwards, plus sun and wind protection (hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, windbreaker, fleece, etc.). Remember, even on the sunniest day it can be chilly out on the water, and the sun reflects off the water to speed up the time it takes to burn. A water bottle and lunch (for full day programs) are also necessary.
