Our Team


PCYC Learn to Sail is proud to be a strong and growing Sailing School for both Youth and Adults alike.  Our mission is to be "the best club on the lake", and integral to achieving this goal is steady investment in our sailing school programs.  

Our program has matured to allow progression for all skill levels and ages as well.  No matter what advancement path our students choose, there is a line of sight for them in our programming options.  With on-ramps for youth as young as 6, and for adults just beginning to discover the joys of a sailing pastime can bring them, PCYC now has more than 250 sailors being evaluated each year by a staff of 20 coaches.  Their role is to ensure that all aspects of the learning experience are looked after.

Port Credit Yacht Club has a long history of the excellence in racing.  Our Racing Programs feature Beginner, Development and High Performance levels to suit all sailors abilities.  We are proud to offer Youth and Adult racing programs that are second to none in the GTA, and arguably, across Canada.  Many of our racers have gone on to qualify for Olympic, Pan Am, National and Provincial Sailing Teams. Our goal is to offer a pathway to achieving their goals for all our High Performance youth sailors.

PCYC Learn to Sail is a success because of the hard work of our Staff, and their collaboration with the volunteer-led Learn to Sail Committee.  Together, they set the goals and objectives of the program, and work to deliver the best programming on the Lake.
