Adult Programs

Adult Lessons

 
RVYC will once again be offering beginner adult sailing lessons for members - and we look forward to updating all those interested come March 2024. 

Nuts and bolts information: we are aiming for morning and afternoon weekend sessions from mid-March to the end of June. These will be grouped into ten on-water sessions over two consecutive weekends (excluding statutory holidays). Vessels used will either be the Club's Capri 22s or the Elliott 6s (TBC)
Weekend lessons will be held on Saturdays and Sundays 0900-1300 hrs or 1400-1800 hrs – weather permitting.
Lessons will be primarily built on the fundamental skills needed to sail smaller boats and the CANSail curriculum. It will not follow the Sail Canada 'Learn to Cruise' standards.

Students should bring their own PFDs, sunscreen, water, notebooks, hats, and sailing gloves. Please arrive in weather-appropriate attire (including foul-weather gear).   

Any questions regarding these courses or private lessons should be directed to Bree Alvarado in our Sailing Department. 

Lesson Fees:
