Toronto Sailing & Canoe Club

A wonderfully welcoming club with a rich history in the city. Members and staff are friendly and always happy to help. They also have a nice kitchen! Plenty of parking.

I’ve been calling many times and can not get through. It’s either mailbox is full or no answer.

The sailing club is very relaxed, staff are nice and the people who hang out here are really there for the sailing whether it be dingy racing or keel boat cruising and racing. My wife and I enjoyed the course we took and she is having a blast racing regularly. We recommend the club!

Sailing depends on the right amount of wind. Sometimes there is too much and sometimes not enough. No wind is frustrating and infuriating for all sailors. Too much wind is a safety concern for the Sailing School Staff at the TSCC, which means there is occasionally no sailing, for fear of injury. This is the simple beauty of sailing.

Disappointing. I signed my 6 year old son up for sailing camp here, the experience was more similar to a poorly run day camp. Very unorganized and unprofessional (rude) behaviour by the staff. On days when I saw other camps sailing I found my son in the muscle gym playing. When I asked the instructor why, he stated that is what the children wanted to do. I explained I paid for my son to learn a skill, I was not looking for child minding services. When I brought it up later with the manager he said they didn’t go out because of the weather (not true- this was not the reason the instructor gave AND other camps were on the lake). This happened multiple times throughout the week. I didn’t even bother sending him on the final day. It was a total waste of my time and money. I attempted to reach out to multiple members of the board to have this resolved and never received a response. We will never return nor would I ever recommend anyone send their child here. Very disappointed.

Love this club. I took the basic keelboat course with John, and it was excellent. The TSCC is bare bones - you will not get a regularly staffed bar, restaurant, or even docks (boats are moored at mooring balls). But it is lively, down-to-earth, and very welcoming. The TSCC really strikes me as a club for people who are into sailing. When I get a keelboat I will definitely join the TSCC.

I took a keelboat course with TSCC. The course material was helpful, and we discovered many sailing maneuvers. There is a lot of practical experience, and I definitely feel more comfortable on a sailboat.

However, our course materials were late by 1 week and no one made any effort to deliver them on time, which made the course and testing quite difficult.

Several sailing concepts were not covered at all, and instructor was yelling (quite a bit) that we were supposed to know because we were skippers.

Course information was very good, but customer experience is average at best.
