Bedford Basin Yacht Club - Learn To Sail

Bedford Basin Yacht Club - Learn To Sail We offer programs from the Sail Canada curriculum. We offer Junior learn to sail for kids ages 5-18,

The primary aim of the Bedford Basin Yacht Club’s Learn to Sail program is to promote sailing as lifelong sport. We do that by encouraging sailors from a young age to learn the seamanship skills and responsibilities of boat handling; fostering teamwork and leadership; building our fleet; building our race team; and cooperation between the LTS program and membership. BBYC’s Learn to Sail program also fosters environmental awareness, promotes a healthy active lifestyle, and supports our sailors in gaining sportsmanship skills. We offer programs from the Sail Canada curriculum, and have certified Cansail instructors. We offer adult learn-to-sail lessons on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and Women's Workshops.

BBYC Learn to Sail is off to a great start!
We kicked off the season nearly full, and the kids are having a blast while learning and leveling up their sailing skills.

Our race teams have already competed in 3 regattas—ARK, Baywind, and No Tears—and our program is growing fast! We now include ILCA 4 & 6, Club 420, Opti, and Wetfeet. Big shoutout to our hardworking coaches and sailors!

New Adaptive Sailing Sessions Launching at BBYC

Bedford Basin Yacht Club is excited to launch a program for individuals with mobility challenges. This inclusive program is designed to provide safe, supported access to the water, whether you’re new to sailing or returning after time away.

Sessions will run from July 21 to August 8, with 1.5-hour sails aboard the Martin 16 - a stable, accessible keelboat that’s ideal for building confidence and independence on the water.

If you or someone you know would benefit from adaptive sailing, we’d love to hear from you.

Registration is open now: https://bbyc.ca/reserve/T7BOJxQDyB
