Join us for a fun summer of sailing!
This course is once again a part of the Ontario Sailing's Mainsail Program. Participants will be sailing in modern RS Zest boats, and will learn how to sail independently (with supervision).
Our certified instructors will teach the basics of: wind direction, points of sail, sheeting, steering, and maneuvering. Students will be learning: how to adapt to changes in wind speed and direction and preform basic skills in moderate conditions.
At Brakewinders we strive to make the sport of Sailing available to Everyone!

Have you ever wondered if sailing is for you?
Or, maybe it is finally time to polish up some old sailing skills?
Join us for some serious sailing, serious fun!
No sailing or boating experience is necessary to join the program. However, all participants must be able to perform moderate physical activities.
Example: You should be able to crawl under a table... on your knees! (Repeatedly... these are little boats!).
Our adult courses are designed to get you on the water as quickly as possible. New sailors will begin by learning the basic skills needed to safely handle a sailboat. Courses are taught using a fleet of RS Zests. Small and responsive, these boats are lightweight and easy to handle.
