At Ben Eoin Marina, our Junior Sailing Program inspires confidence, teamwork, and a lifelong love of sailing by providing young sailors with a safe, inclusive, and adventurous environment on the water. Through skill development, sportsmanship, environmental stewardship, and community connection, we empower youth to grow as capable sailors, resilient leaders, and respectful ambassadors of Cape Breton’s boating culture.
This program is designed for new and returning sailors aged 8-16 . Our Learn to Sail Program is based on the successful Sail Canada Cansail Standards and is designed and delivered utilizing the technical resources, materials and national standards of Sail Canada. Students in this program will work on their Cansail Levels 1- 4 by utilizing Optimist, Byte, Laser and 420 sailboats. We teach fundamental skills like steering, sheeting, and basic boat handling. Sailors learn within designated, safe boundaries set by instructors. These introductory and intermediate courses focus on building on-water confidence, seamanship, and teamwork in a safe, fun environment.
