Upon completion of this course you should be able to sail a keelboat of up to 10 metres safely and efficiently in moderate wind and sea conditions by day. Your on-water ability will be assessed against the afloat skills required for the Sail Canada Basic Cruising Standard. Classroom lectures will prepare you for the written ashore knowledge Sail Canada exam.
Note: Students have the option of writing the Pleasure Craft Operator’s Card exam during this course. There is an additional fee for the PCOC.
