Our Recreational Program is one of two sailing programs offered by the University of Toronto Sailing Club. The program is operated out of the Harbourfront Centre, located on Queens Quay. Recreational sailing is aimed at any UofT students who would like to learn how to sail. No previous experience is required, and all are encouraged to come out for a fun and educational time. All sailing is done on keelboats, in groups of a few students and a certified coach. The program runs on the weekends, with our first sailing date being Saturday September 14th and running each with the final date being Saturday October 12th. Each sailing is roughly three hours long and run from 9:00am to 12:00pm. Because of the season, it will be necessary to wear layers of clothing, particularly those that you do not mind getting wet or dirty, just in case.
The purpose of the program is for participants to learn the basics of sailing, and ideally feel comfortable enough to sail on their own, should the opportunity arise. Students should sail in the Recreational Program for 1-2 years until they are confident in their sailing abilities and then may choose to try out for the Competitive Race Team, also offered through the U of T Sailing Club.
Fee for the fall 2013 season is $85 payable by cash or cheque
