The Vancouver Sailing Club (VSC) provides sailors of all experience levels the opportunity to become more knowledgeable, competent and confident in their abilities.

Whether you are a beginner or have sailing experience we take the time to understand you and your sailing objectives. Your instructor will prepare a documented learning track comprised of sailing knowledge, seamanship, boat handling, and the required experience to make your dreams a reality.

 

With our flexible course schedule offering both weekend and weekday classes you will progress at your own pace.

With 275,000+ sailors  certified since 1985  the ASA Learn- to- Sail with Confidence program is the recognized standard for recreational sailing qualifications in North America and internationally.

ASA is recognized as the leading authority on the art and science of sailing.

ASA Certification provides international recognition for your qualifications and we recommend it as the best value for your sailing education dollar.

All sailors benefit from our clear dayly objectives approach to teaching fundamental and advanced topics. Our current model 24, 29, 36 foot sailboats are owned by VSC and are re-known as the best- equipped and maintained sailing yachts available in Vancouver.

Are you competitive and enjoy team sports? Join our VSC Racing  Program:

  • Competent Keelboat Racing Crew (VSC504)
  • Spinnaker Fundamentals (VSC501)

Both are based on student participation in races and practices during our extensive 2010 Pacific Northwest Racing Schedule. Our goal is to prepare sailors to be valued members and leaders of winning sailing crews on boats up to 50 feet long.

Enroll early for 2010 courses so you won't be disappointed.
