This is one of the entry-level Standards in the series
of Sail Canada Standards on sailing keelboats and cruising. It is intended to
provide novice boaters with the opportunity to experience the joys of boating.
The session may also be used to build crew teamwork skills on the water. We
offer this standard on our Club Sharks, 24ft.
This standard introduces novice boaters to safe
practices in preparing to leave the dock while underway and when returning to
the dock.
Training will include, but not be limited to:
Basic boat checks for seaworthiness.
Review safety equipment location and use.
Discuss basic safety when participating as a crew.
Participate in the preparation of the boat for
departure.
Participate in departure from the dock as a crew.
Demonstrate safe behaviour while underway.
Participate in returning to the dock as crew.
Assist in activities required to secure and put
away the vessel.
There are no defined evaluation components for this
Standard. Sessions will typically end with participants conversing about what
was learned and the next steps.
This Standard provides a great opportunity for
first-time boaters to get out on the water with a knowledgeable individual.
With minimal learning objectives, this course can be easily adapted to meet the
comfort level of first-time boaters or more experienced individuals.
Participants will have the opportunity to experience
sun, wind, spray, rain, and temperatures consistent with the time of year they
take part in this activity. When underway, the vessel may exhibit irregular
motion due to wind and waves. Participants may be asked to perform simple tasks
at the dock and move around the vessel when underway. If you walk down the dock
with a smile, this session is for you!
The program is offered on Monday Evenings, from 5 pm - 8 pm.
Price $75.00 (plus tax). Members receive a 15% discount.
