ST JAMES TOWN SAILING CLUB

We are a cooperative, not-for-profit, community-run sailing club, with a waterfront clubhouse and a lending library of boats. Sail all summer in Toronto, without having to buy a boat!

J-Town, as we call ourselves, is made up of over 200 sailors from many occupations and backgrounds: from students to retired bankers, lawyers to artists, and life-time Torontonians to new immigrants.

Membership is available on a first-come, first-serve basis, and everyone 19 years or older is welcome.  We fill up fast, so sign-up early and let us add some wind, water and fun to your summer! 

TORONTO'S SAILING CLUB

We're more than a sailing club: we are a community. J-Town is what you want it to be. For some, it's a race training centre. For others, it's our weeknight hang out and summer cottage by the lake. For many, it's the place we tried sailing for the first time - and fell in love. It can be any of those things!

We are a Community Club. a place run by the members for the members, but many hands make work light! We have gourmet meals cooked by our members, a thriving race fleet, a lake front fire pit, all levels of sail and race training and many events for you to participate in.

LEARN TO SAIL WITH US!

We offer affordable sailing lessons with Sail Canada-certified instructors. There are loads of opportunities for leisure sailing or racing once your course is complete.

Already know how to sail? Sign-up for a membership, and then complete an "Old Salt" sailing test to request sign-out privileges for our fleet!

The Boats

You don't need to buy a boat to sail every day! The club owns 28 sail boats, in three fleets, which can be signed-out by qualified members without a reservation, subject to availability.

YOUR COTTAGE BY THE LAKE

J-Town members get access to not only club boats, but also our serene lakefront retreat. Just minutes from the downtown core, but comfortably nestled away from the busy hustle and bustle of the city, on Regatta Road, we are one of Toronto's best kept secrets!
