Hollyburn Sailing Club has been an integral part of the West Vancouver waterfront for over fifty-five years. A dream of a few dedicated people in the spring of 1963, the club became a reality in June of the same year.
Doug Sutherland and Roy Holland met at that time with a group of interested parents to form a dinghy sailing club with the main objective of training North Shore children seamanship.
With the blessing of the District of West Vancouver and the West Vancouver Parks and Recreation Commission, it was arranged that Hollyburn Sailing Club could store dinghies on 100 feet of foreshore next to Ambleside Boat Rental.
Sailors will meet the instructors at Lakeside Beach in an area near the water behind the park washrooms.
This course, which is internationally recognized by the Sail Canada standards, is designed to teach the beginner the necessary skills to act as both skipper and crew on a small dinghy.
