Welcome to Sail Nelson's FB page! My name is Penny and I am a Sail Canada (CYA) cruising instructor who recently relocated to Nelson BC. I want to share my passion for sailing with new and existing water enthusiasts to help make Kootenay Lake a safe and fun place for all to enjoy.


After 15 years of experience with Sail Canada I proudly achieved the standard of Advanced Cruising Instructor. I’ve taught on the Great Lakes and at the Vancouver Yacht Club which included: theory, tactics, boat maintenance, navigation, ropework, and among many other things, Live Aboard Cruising.


I am offering theory courses through Selkirk College, where I currently work. My students will benefit from theory courses offered throughout the winter and I am very excited to introduce afloat courses on Kootenay Lake this summer!


I have an equal passion for teaching and sailing which you can harness for personalized teaching on your boat. Don’t have a boat? I have a San Juan 24 where people of all levels can discover the pure, natural exhilaration of sailing. Please feel free to get in touch and we can assess your needs and find a boating solution that works for you!
