Hello Potential Community Sailing Instructors!
The Kanata Sailing Club is one of two sites hosting the OSA (Ontario Sailing Association) two day Community Sailing Instructor clinic in 2025. This course allows one to teach sailing to new sailors and allows you to certify up to the recreational iCanSail level. Part of the on-the-water training for this clinic will be the Coach Boat Safety Course, so having your PCOC certificate is a requirement prior to the start of the clinic in July.
If you wish to be further qualified and eligible to certify students up to CanSail level 1, then the Fundamentals course is a prerequisite. The online OSA course starting in January 2025 sold out, but a new session was established that begins in February.
ABOUT THE HOST CLUB:
The Kanata Sailing Club is a volunteer-run community sailing club located on the Ottawa River in picturesque Dunrobin Shores, half an hour from downtown Ottawa. Since 1975, this club has focused on sailing and self-catered socializing. That’s right. No restaurant or bar. Sailing is the name of the game, and we’ve been at it here for 50 years.
OSA Trainees and Learning Facilitators will be pleased to hear that we don’t stint where it counts, and KSC’s LTS training fleet consists of the rightly popular RS Quests and RS Fevas.
We enjoy a wilderness camp flavour with addictive views to the Gatineau Hills in La Belle Province, on a navigable stretch extending farther upriver than you could reasonably sail in a day.
If you are interested in the clinic or register for the clinic, send an email to our training director, she would be pleased to hear it!
