Learn to Sail at J-Town
JTown offers ongoing learning opportunities to its members of all skill levels and abilities, on our three fleets. You can apply to become a member, here. Members must be aged 19+ years. JTown members may be granted revocable sign-out privileges for one or more fleets, by completing certain clinics or courses. These sign-out privileges permit members to sail JTown dinghies, subject to the rules and expectations set out in our Membership Handbook. Students who complete CanSail courses, also receive a digital certificate of completion from Sail Canada.
A summary list of our courses and clinics, their requirements, and pre-requisites is available here.
New members with previous sailing experience who are looking to obtain sign-out privileges without taking a course, may apply for an "Old Salt Test".
More information is available here.
BEGinner COURSEs (CANSAIL 1&2)
The introductory beginner sailing course is called CANSail 1&2. This course covers the basics that a developing sailor needs to know, in order to get into a two-person dinghy sailboat, get it moving, and bring it (and its passengers) home safely.
