Why not try something new this summer?

The Adult Dinghy Sailing Program at the West Vancouver Yacht Club caters to the beginner who wants to experience the excitement of being on the water, and to the advanced sailor who would like to get back out into the highly responsive world of dinghy sailing.  This is a great way to take advantage of the club’s new 420 fleet.
