CANSail 3/4 begins on Saturday May 26th. Open to members who have completed CANSail 1/2. This intermediate sailing course teaches sailors to integrate the fundamental boat handling manoeuvers and balance with basic tactics and strategy as well as applied sail trim. Sailors are exposed to a greater variety of conditions. Succeeding at CANSAIL 3 will prime you to become a Sr Helm at the club. CANSail 4 is your best prep for becoming a Skipper.
RAINDATE: Sat Jun 30 (long weekend); RAINDATE: Sun Jul 7
We limit the course to 10 students. Tuition is $200.00 + HST.
Please note: all start times are Tender times. CanSail 3/4 is a rigorous course so please come on time and be prepared to go out on the water quickly.
ALL SALES ARE FINAL WITHIN 4 WEEKS OF COURSE START DATE.
Looking forward to see you all on the race course in 2018. The CAA will be trying a new education format this year. Our aim is to have more continuous education, greater participation, and a greater exchange of skills. Neptune once noted that the best way to learn is by sailing with someone more experienced! So we will be pairing experienced sailors (crew or helm) with those interested in gaining improved racing skills.
If you have any other questions, please reach out to Allan Measor.
At TISC we're proud of our comprehensive learn to sail course. Taught by certified Sail Canada instructors the CANSail programming means lots of time on the water in a safe, fun and active learning environment, with relatively less time spent in a classroom. Sailors learn the skills and enter into fun and challenging experiences suited to their stage of development. The programming is designed to get - and keep - sailors excited about sailing for life! CANSail is designed to be a set of progressive learn to sail standards focused on providing sailors with a solid foundation of core skills. It allows sailors to learn and progress in any type of boat and consolidates key skills and solid experiences before adding complex skills.
CANSail 1 teaches sailors the fundamental sailing skills including basic sheeting, steering, and boat handling on all points of sail. Sailors can sail within defined boundaries set by an instructor.
CANSail 2 teaches sailors to adjust their bodies and boats for changes in direction and wind speed while sailing, and to perform boat-handling maneuvers in a controlled manner while in a controlled setting.
The Friday Night Racing Series pairs helm and crew by lottery. Forty to sixty community club Albacores duke it out on the race course from May to September. Friday Night Racing (FNR) is organized by the community sailing Clubs: TISC, Mooredale, J-Town, Westwood and the Outer Harbour Centreboard Club (“OHCC”). This is the longest standing, and largest, one-design race series in North America!
To ensure that everyone is given a chance to race, Racing Skippers are matched with crew by a random draw.

Join your fellow TISCers on Canada Day for a Sail Around the Island. A favourite of many members, this event provides an opportunity to sail outside of the inner harbour with a seasoned Skipper.
Plan to be on the 3:00 PM. Please note, there is a scheduled CANSail class; three or four of the older boats will be on the water when you arrive. Space is limited for this sailing event and will be determined by the number of Skippers in attendance. Priority will be given to those who register in advance.
The BBQ dinner will begin at 6:30 pm. If you are not sailing, help out by setting the picnic tables for 20 to 30 people and check that we have enough propane and/or charcoal. Those interested in attending just the BBQ we ask that you register as well so we have an idea in advance how many people will be in attendance. Friends & family are more than welcome to join us!
Similar to our Social Sail theme nights we have a Google Spreadsheet for you to add an appetizer, or salad, or dessert to share.
10:45 pm: join us on the north beach to watch Harbourfront's fireworks show.
