Sailing School
The Sail Parry Sound Sailing School became a possibility after Parry Sound and area people
responded generously to Sail Parry Sound's desire to offer sailing lessons
for young people. Three brand new boats were donated outright; one
more was purchased by a family and turned over to the school, and seven
more were guaranteed by friends of the school. In a response to a request
for "backyard" boats, to be used, rehabilitated, or sold for fund raising,
eight more were donated. The school was up and running.
Formed in 1998 by Sail Parry Sound Inc. under the direction of Larry
Woolner, the school welcomed 20 youngsters in the first season. By the
time the Class of '99 began, 180 youths were looking forward to a summer
program offered at the Waubuno Park Beach. Each year, the school has
grown, and the Sail Parry Sound Sailing School now has hundreds of
graduates annually, from White Sail to Gold Sail, with fifteen graduates
now certified as instructors. In 2003, it was named best in Canada, earning
the William Abbott Senior award from the Canadian Yachting Association.
 Today,
the school operates at the Sail Parry Sound sailing centre at the west end
of Waubuno Road, throughout July and August. A fleet of more than 30
boats--from prams to race boats and motorized coach boats is in use.
The
Sail Parry Sound Sailing School is a not-for-profit, volunteer community
organization dedicated to bringing sailing instruction to Parry Sound and
to building a sailing culture, as part of Sail Parry Sound. Youth and adults are welcome.
