Our Junior Sailing Program (ages 8 - 18)
The junior program offers White Sail I, II and III. Full day classes are held Monday through Friday from July 1 to August 15, 2008.

Adult Sailing Programs are usually offered in the evenings and are designed to meet the individual needs of each student sailor. There is some flexibility for scheduling adult sailing during weekdays and weekends, depending on other school activities.

Personal Sailing Coach
This program is designed for those with some previous sailing instruction and experience, and who wish to have some personal attention from the instructor followed by free-sailing time to practice. Available by half-day and full day. Ideal for visitors staying for a short time in the area.

The Wallace MacAskill Disability Sailing Program
This innovative program has, since 2005, offered persons with disabilities the opportunity to experience the freedom of sailing on the Bras d'Or Lakes. Headquartered at the St. Peter's Lions Club Marina, the program features two Access 2.3 dinghies designed specifically for use by even the most severely disabled persons. We also have a race-ready 420, a Flying Junior, a CL 16 and a HobieCat 14 in our fleet.


The Program is offered free of charge to persons with any form of disability from ages 7 and up. Programs will be designed to suit each individual's needs following consultation with our coordinator. Times will be scheduled to meet individual needs as far as it is possible.
