Sail Training

Sailing is a healthy outdoor activity that’s fun for the whole family. Here on the Bay of Quinte, we are fortunate to have one of the best places to sail anywhere in the world. Experience the thrill of sailing this summer and enjoy it for the rest of your life.

All Sail training programs operate from the Bay of Quinte Yacht Club (BQYC) at the tip of Victoria Harbour in Belleville. The air-conditioned building and classrooms are designed for training and larger groups. The grounds are a safe park setting, providing sunny and shady areas for many onshore activities and excellent sailing experiences on the Bay of Quinte. Dinghy summer lawn storage is available to our racers and members for a nominal fee.
