This course is conducted on the Glenmore Sailing Club's Catalina 30 at the Sidney North Saanich Yacht Club Marina. The Club is excited to have a partnership with this Club as we share many educational and membership objectives.

    One course, two possible outcomes.

    This course covers the Performance Objectives within the Basic Cruising Standard Depending on each student's ability to competently  and consistently demonstrate these Performance Objectives determines which Standard a student achieves.

    Basic Cruising Standard: Students with a consistent and comprehensive demonstration of course Performance Objectives will realize their Basic Cruising Standard. This is the likely outcome for individuals who have sailed previously (CANSail Dinghy or keelboat)

    Basic Crew Standard: Students able to consistently assist a skipper will realize their Basic Crew Standard. This is the likely outcome for individuals who have limited or no previous sailing experience.

    Course prerequisites:

    3. Two-hour written test onboard before the end of the last day onboard.

    • This course is held in all weather with moderate wind and sea conditions.

    Keelboat 3 - Keelboat Cruising

    This third sailing education course expands your sailing knowledge through sailing in coastal tidal waters. This course is conducted on the Glenmore Sailing Club's Catalina 30 at the Sidney North Saanich Yacht Club Marina. The Club is excited to have a partnership with this Club as we share many educational and membership objectives.

    One course, two possible outcomes.

    This course covers the Performance Objectives within the Basic Cruising Standard Depending on each student's ability to competently  and consistently demonstrate these Performance Objectives determines which Standard a student achieves.

    Basic Cruising Standard: Students with a consistent and comprehensive demonstration of course Performance Objectives will realize their Basic Cruising Standard. This is the likely outcome for individuals who have sailed previously (CANSail Dinghy or keelboat)

    Basic Crew Standard: Students able to consistently assist a skipper will realize their Basic Crew Standard. This is the likely outcome for individuals who have limited or no previous sailing experience.

    Course prerequisites:
    • Keelboat 2 (Keelboat Skipper).
    • The Basic Cruising Skills book is required reading.


    Course Format:

    1. Five hours of ashore theory split into two sessions in Calgary prior to going to the west coast.  (dates to be set - plan for one to three weeks ahead of your course on the coast).
    2. Three 8.5-hour days of sailing and motoring onboard "Summer Ice"
    3. Two-hour written test onboard before the end of the last day onboard.

    • This course is held in all weather with moderate wind and sea conditions.

    • This is a day sailing program, not a live aboard program.
    • Students with a consistent and comprehensive demonstration of course Performance Objectives will realize their Basic Cruising Standard. Students able to consistently assist a skipper will realize their Basic Crew Standard. Students achieving a Crew or Cruising Standard will receive a Sail Canada logbook with the seal and instructor sign off on their course.
    • Students arrange their own transportation to/from Sydney North Saanich Yacht Club and accommodations on Vancouver Island.
    • PFDs are provided for students. If you have a favourite and want to wear it, please bring it along.

    19:00 40 LOVE BAND:

    40-Love is a six-piece band that was formed under social distancing rules in the clubhouse at the Calgary Tennis Club during Covid times. Featuring two players that have played on numerous recordings, and another who has played with symphonies as well as toured with major artists, 40-Love presents a good variety of predominantly classic rock tunes, with a hint of country and blues. Playing recognizable, danceable, and enjoyable music, 40-Love puts an emphasis on fun in their musical selection and performance.
