Why let the kids have all the fun?
The Adult Sailing Program at the Kelowna Yacht Club caters to the beginner who wants to experience the excitement of being on the water, and to the advanced sailor who would like to get back out into the highly responsive world of dinghy sailing.

Adult White Sail I
If you are a beginner who would like to be introduced to the sport of sailing in a positive and warm environment this is the course for you. By the end of this course you should be able to rig and de-rig your boat, confidently leave and return to the dock, and perform simple steering and sail adjustments.
Also successful candidates will receive Canadian Yachting Association certification.

Advanced Adult Practices
For the adults that want more time on the water, this is a good opportunity to practice on dinghies. You need to have a minimum of White Sail III or the equivalent experience. The KYC will be providing the boats, and the race team coach as security on the water.

- Practices will be held the same evenings as the race team practices, which is on Thursday for the months of June and September, and will be held Tuesdays and Thursdays during July and August.

- It will be from 5pm to 7:30pm, from June 5th to September 25th.

- You need to be completely autonomous and helpful, because you will be responsible for rigging as well as damage or loss of the equipment you borrow from the yacht club.

- The availability of boats will always depend on the race team members using them, since they have priority. If you have your own dinghy you are welcome to use it to train with us.
- You will have to tell the coach when you are planning to attend the practices.

Prices include boat rental and coaching:
$65/night
$405/season (from June 5th to September 25th)

Prices for coaching only:
$25/night
$145/season
