BHYC Learn To Sail Program
Bronte Harbour Yacht Club has been getting the community (of all ages) involved in sailing since 1962. Courses are available for Juniors (7-11 years), Youth (12-18 years), and Adults (19 years and over). All instruction is by Canadian Yachting Association certified instructors. Instruction takes place both on shore and on the water. On shore, students will learn sailing theory, rigging and boat maintenance, and on the lake students will receive practical sailing instruction.
