Bermuda Sailing has adopted the ISAF Le arn To Sail Programme as the Bermuda National Sailing Programme.

In past years, most of Bermuda's competitive sailors were born through club participation. These sailors were primarily introduced to sailing by their parents or through one of the yacht clubs. This implies membership and boat ownership, obviously limiting a great number of island children.
In 2000, the Bermuda Government mandated the WaterWise programme for middle school students, ages 11 and 12.
