Hi, I'm Evan — a Sail Canada educator and coastal skipper with 14 years on the water and four years as a professional coach.
My approach blends technical sailing education with a feel-based, supportive style rooted in my hospitality background. The goal is simple: create a calm, capable learning environment where you build real confidence.
In 2025, I logged 3,000 offshore nautical miles, sailing our boat from Lake Ontario to the Exumas. That passage experience shapes how I teach. We focus on decision-making in real conditions, small crew dynamics, and skills you will actually use — not theory that stays in a textbook.
Courses are run on a modern, well-equipped vessel with intentionally small class sizes. You will stand watch. You will handle lines. You will make calls. You will leave knowing you can take the helm and think clearly under pressure.
Whether your goal is weekend cruising in Prince Edward County, chartering in the Caribbean, or preparing for your own offshore passage, you will gain practical tools in a structured, supportive setting.
After a season teaching in warmer waters, we are back in Prince Edward County starting May long weekend.
If sailing is on your horizon this year, now is the time to claim your spot.
