About Us

Gord Fulcher

Head Instructor

We get together to cruise, sail, practice and train.

All types and sizes of sailboats, dinghies and people are welcome.

Come have some fun!

Our main focus is working on our kids sailing program in Sooke. With our week long summer sailing lessons and our Sunday Dinghy Sails in the Sooke Harbour year round we are really getting there. We will offer sailing programs early in July. Striving to one day have introductory classes in the schools. We are teamed up with Rush Adventures at Coopers Cove and Mariners Village in the Sooke Harbour in Sooke and are really looking forward many years of Sailing in Sooke.

Opti Program: Teaching children from the ages of 6 to 14 to safely sail and have fun on the water at Sooke. As the children get older they are confident to move on to racing, teaching sailing or advanced sailing classes. If you would like more information on the Kids Sailing Program we are a Sail Canada Certified Sailing School, based in Sooke BC Canada. We offer 4 weeks of sailing lessons for kids where they progress at their own pace. The program is from 9 to 3:30 each day during the week. You can sign them up for more than one week.

Dinghy Program: We have two person Dinghy sailing most Sundays with 2 Pirates, 2 Laser 11 and a Laser. This is for the older Youth (14 and up) and Adults. We are offering a one week CANSail 1 to 4 this year also.

Youth and Adult: We have a M-Scow and the other Dinghies mentioned above sailing most Sundays. This is for the older Youth (14 and up) and Adults. We have dinghy days periodically bring your own… hope to have some Laser II races.

Keelboat Program: We do introductory sails on weekdays or weekends. On the Sooke Basin or the Strait of Juan de Fuca to introduce people to the joys of sailing. All ages welcome! Check out this program at Starlight Sailing Adventures.

The Sooke Sailing Co-op, an affordable way to sail, introduce yourself to sailing, learn about boat maintenance, or to keep your sailing skills up to date. Check out this program at The Sooke sailing Co-op.

We accept donations of boats or money towards purchasing dinghies and running our sailing school for kids 6 to 14 years old and can offer a tax deductible receipt through National Sport Trust Fund.
