> JUNIOR TRAINING PROGRAM 2020

Royal Vancouver Yacht Club’s Sailing Programs are among the best in the country. We have taught Sail Canada’s (formerly the Canadian Yachting Association) CanSail since its implementation in 2012. To round out training, we also offer the kind of programs only a competitive yacht club can provide with our “Summer Race Team” and “Intro to High Performance Skiffs”. For 2020, we’re able to facilitate a training camp for Commodores’ Cup Regatta competitors (end of August) for those sailors looking for extra time on the water before the annual training regatta at RVYC!

Our courses are designed to challenge and educate aspiring competitive racers intent on acquiring the essential skills to succeed in boats suited well to the tasks: Optimist dinghies and Laser Radial dinghies are used for single-handed programs, and our double-handed programs are delivered in the RS Feva XL dinghies and high performance 29er skiffs.

For your convenience and to ensure accuracy, RVYC offers online registration and payment for members and non-members. Please visit the Summer Junior Training Program page on the RVYC homepage (www.royalvan.com/jtp) for links to online registration.

We continue to maintain a low student-to-coach ratio as well as a non-stressful approach to sailing instruction. Please take time to read carefully through this pamphlet and our online materials, as they both contain a lot of important information.

OUR SMALL CLASS SIZES ALLOW FOR SUPERIOR INSTRUCTION
