Stay on the Lake Shore Boulevard, which runs underneath the express way. After passing three sets of traffic lights turn right (South) onto Cherry Street just before the fourth set of lights.

  From Cherry Street turn left on Unwin Avenue, which is the first street left after the second bridge. From there take the first right (Regatta Road) and then take the only left turn possible. You will see are seven small clubs behind the fence on the right side of the road. The fourth one is St James Town Sailing Club.

Do not turn on the Lakeshore Boulevard, but cross it and go straight ahead to the end of the road. Turn right and then take a left at the first street, which will be Cherry Street. From there, follow directions explained in the paragraph above.
