Join our Independent Sailing Program!

The goal of our Independent Sailing Program is to allow our sailors to develop the skills and experience required to sail independently, while minimizing the impact of their disability while on the water.

Through our Independent Sailing Programs, DSA Alberta Members can:

• Learn to sail from Canadian Yachting Association (CYA) certified instructors
• Sail any time with a qualified Sailing Companion
• Participate in DSA-Alberta social functions and receive the AHOY! newsletter
• Participate in weekly racing and regattas

CYA Learn-to-Sail Program

Our CYA (Canadian Yachting Association) Learn-to-Sail classes provide theory instruction, technical skills training, social activity and confidence building in a safe, positive and cooperative learning environment.  Classes are offered at all levels and open to anyone (members, families, volunteers).  Courses are typically eight, three-hour lessons on Tuesdays and Thursdays, 6:00 - 9:00 p.m., or some are a weekend format.  Learn-to-Sail Fees vary from $150 per course to $229 for our four-day camps.  Contact the Business manager to register for a Learn-to-Sail course now!

Wednesday Night Racing and Regattas

A goal of DSA-Alberta is “to facilitate integration of disabled and able-bodied recreation and competition”. DSA-Alberta sailors are welcome to participate in Wednesday Night Racing every Wednesday from May through August at 6:00 p.m., as well as a number of regattas during the summer. DSA-Alberta sailors and volunteers can book a Martin 16 or the Sonar for these events.
