ASK Programs

Kingston’s first sailing program for persons with a disability is open to Adults 18 and up. No previous sailing experience is required. All that’s required is a desire to experience the tremendous feeling of freedom sailing has to offer, and the desire to challenge oneself by trying something new. The program is currently offered to participants with physical disabilities only; including the visually and hearing impaired. Once the proper infrastructure is in place, ASK hopes to offer sailing programs to people with a wider range of disabilities.

The “Learn to Sail” program offers supervised sailing instruction which includes both practical on-water sessions and sailing theory. Participants will receive on shore instruction in sailing theory, safety, knots and rigging. Each day participants will enjoy the fun of sailing in a “Martin 16”. The instructional curriculum will be based on the Canadian Yachting Association standard.
