The sailing instructor training allows young people to begin their training from the age of 15 and with a CanSail 2 level. Once their training is successful, and from the age of 16, they will be able to accompany beginners in the discovery of sailing and deliver ICANSail certifications (initiation to sailing). The facilitators play a central role within the camps or structures where sailing is practiced as an initiation. Sailing instructors are true ambassadors of our sport!
