Have you ever wanted to try your hand at sailing, but didn't know where to go? Do you want to sail but don't want the hassle of owning a boat? Whether you harbour fantasies about tacking and gybing your way to victory in a regatta or simply envision a relaxing couple of hours criss-crossing the Outer Harbour after a stressful day at work, Toronto's community sailing clubs are here to help. Three of the clubs—Mooredale Sailing Club, St. James Town Sailing Club, and Westwood Sailing Club—are located on Regatta Road between Cherry Beach and the Leslie Street Spit, while a fourth—Toronto Island Sailing Club—is based on Centre Island. All four offer introductory lessons and unlimited use of the club boats for less than $500 per year.

The fiftieth edition of the Toronto International Boat Show docks for nine days at the National Trade Centre starting Saturday. Boating geeks, wannabes, and reluctant family thereof all descend on the show every year, seeking everything from fishing lures to gazillion-dollar yachts.
