Welcome to the Saskatchewan Sailing Clubs Association Mobile Sailing School!
Our Mobile Sailing School has been successfully running in Saskatchewan for over 20 years, fostering confidence, teamwork, and a lifelong love for sailing. The Mobile Sailing School is officially approved by Sail Canada, ensuring top-tier instruction that meets national standards. Our program is also proudly funded by Sask Lotteries, allowing us to provide high-quality sailing experiences at an affordable cost to clubs, communities, and parks across Saskatchewan.
Our Boats
C420s -> A very popular boat throughout the world. The general boat design and shape of its rounded hull makes it a great learning boat for youth and adults.
Optimists -> This is the most common dinghy sailboat in the world. Children as young as 8 can start to learn to sail this boat. Its basic design makes it ideal for beginners and racers alike.
What to Bring
- Participants must wear a Personal Flotation Device at all times on the water.
- Sunscreen, hat, rash guard with UV protection
- Depending on the weather; a shorty wetsuit is encouraged.
- Closed toe footwear is essential. Water shoes or running shoes are good footwear to protect your feet.
- A properly fitted helmet (A bicycle helmet works well).
- Whistle (one per person)
- Water bottle, snacks, and lunch
- Also, it may be cooler on the water. Bring extra clothing and shoes to get dry after sailing. A nylon shell jacket is a good idea.
- Willingness to try something new and a positive attitude!
What to Expect on your Sailing course
Time on the water in Saskatchewan always feels too short. As such, we want to spend as little time in the classroom as possible to maximize time on the water. We operate in small ratios (Max 10 trainees per course) to ensure you get the assistance you need. All skills will be explained and demonstrated before going on the water. That includes capsizing! With the beautiful Saskatchewan summers and fun experience of Sailing, you can expect to be in the water everyday.

All athletes, of any sport, need a way to compete. Sailing is no different. Having a competitive opportunity encourages participation, development, training programs, and more.
Throughout the province; between all SSCA clubs, there are approximately 150 races sailed every summer.
There will be sailors who have just completed Mobile Sailing School (or equivalent) and there will be sailors who have been sailing for several seasons and already competing at a provincial level. One of the best things about sailing is regattas always have sailors of mixed abilities and experience. Sailors will regularly notice the same sailors, of similar abilities to their own, at similar parts of the race course.
