We enjoy hosting sailors from around the lake and around the world at our club. Before you come, you may be interested in learning a little about what it's like to visit. We've collected a bunch of pertinent information for visitors on this page.
History
QCYC is a not-for-profit community of sailors and friends located on parkland on Algonquin Island in the Toronto harbour. But the club wasn't always located on the islands.
In fact, the original clubhouse was located at the foot of York Street on the city side of the harbour. We have a committee of members dedicated to preserving and sharing the history of the club and their ongoing work can be found in the club's online Archives.
If you have never sailed before or are looking to improve your sailing skills, these courses will help you develop your abilities and confidence.
In this 4-day course (day sailing only, not live-aboard), you will learn how to use winches, helm a big boat, understand all the terminology, knots and actions to take as the crew for tacking, gybing, and sailing from A to B.
Our Sail Canada certified instructors will teach you all you need to know to be able to handle a dinghy on your own in light to medium strength winds using KSC’s fleet of easy-to-sail training boats.
This is an introduction to sailing for the young child with no previous experience. In stable, sturdy Optimist dinghies (designed specifically for beginners), sailors learn basic steering and sail control skills in a small-group environment.
