We’re really looking forward to another fantastic sailing season at the Rothesay Yacht Club, and we hope you are too!  This year we’ll have many returning and some new instructors. We’ll be offering 4 two-week youth sessions, each with a cap of 32 sailors.  We’re also offering our Adult Learn to Sail, running the program once per week for seven weeks. The Adult Learners in the past couple of years have really appreciated the addition to our fleet of a 27 foot keel boat.  There is an option to race on Wednesday evening on this boat, or possibly on another RYC members boat.  It is a great way to get the full sailing experience and have a lot of fun too!!  The adult class is capped at 20 sailors. 

 

Rothesay Yacht Club (RYC) is a private yacht club situated on the beautiful Kennebecasis River. The RYC was established in 1907 and has been the home to sailors enjoying the river ever since.  

 

For those of you new to sailing, the RYC Learn to Sail program models itself on the CANSail program developed by Sail Canada, the national sporting organization for sailing in Canada. Sail Canada provide us with technical resources, materials and national standards from which we design and deliver our sailing program. All our instructors have received  training and certification based on Sail Canada’s national standards and are registered instructors with Sail Canada.  

 

Within this website, you will find all the necessary information to prepare you and your junior sailor for the summer. We  have also included our policies (safety, registration, participant expectations, etc.). Please let us know if you feel there is  anything that should be added in the future. 

 

I look forward to meeting you all this summer. Happy sailing!
