Toronto Amateur Sailing Club Junior Learn to Sail Classes
Sailing is a great sport, unparalleled for teaching kid’s independence and self-reliance; they match themselves against the elements in a racing machine without an adult at the controls!
These courses usually run for 6 weeks on Sunday mornings.

Lessons are between 09:00am and 12:00pm on Sundays unless otherwise advised. A responsible adult must be present at all times.

EXPECTATIONS, REQUIREMENTS & COMMITMENT
The directions of the Instructors and Assistant Instructors must be followed at all times.
Lessons are between 09:00am and 12:00pm on Sundays unless otherwise advised.
A responsible adult must be present at all times.
The presence of parents/guardians on safety boats is at the Instructor’s discretion.
At the beginning of the course students will be shown how to care for the boats, thereafter they must do this for themselves. If parents/guardians do it for them, this prevents students learning the skill for themselves.
The lesson does not end until the boats are properly washed, dried, packed away and students debriefed and signed off. The Instructors will tell the students when the lesson has finished.
