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.
