White sail is the introductory level for sailing prescribed by the Canadian Yachting Association (CYA).

Teaching will be done predominantly in the Optimist dinghy which is a single-handed boat designed for teaching young children. Youth sailors will also be introduced to double handed sailing in 420s.
