About the Toronto Gay Sailing Club

Never sailed before?

Our members will gladly introduce you to this sport as crew members!

Are you a boat owner looking to meet other LGBTQ sailors?

This is the place to be to meet like-minded sailors and show the ropes to upcoming crew members from the LGBTQ community!

Looking for Crew?

TGSC Members are always looking for opportunity to crew – post your crew requirements on the TGSC Crew Bank.

Mission

To bring LGBTQ like-minded sailboat owners together with others who would like to sail, and foster a positive environment for all members of the LGBTQ community to learn more about sailing. Whether you’re an absolute beginner or the most seasoned skipper, the club has a spot for all of you!

How does the club work?

TGSC organizes monthly SailOuts where we match boat owners with crew, based on your geographical location in the city, and your sailing experience. All members can participate, regardless of their skill level.

During the week and on weekends without an organized SailOut, boat owners will frequently post crew requirement on our Crew Bank.

Only registered TGSC members can participate in SailOuts - visit our membership page for more information about the membership levels.
