The 2012 Season will mark our club's 79th year and we will once again offer a full calendar of sailing and social programs.  There are morning Wet Feet classes for the very young (4-7 years), Puddle Jumper classes for budding sailors, and we are excited to begin offering CANSail - the CYA's new dinghy sailing development curriculum.
There are also our popular Adult Learn to Sail evening sessions, our Youth Racing Team, and even Masters Coaching Sessions for the over-35 crowd, so get involved and come sailing!
Take a moment to view our Sailing School Information or call the club office at 403-272-3300 for further details on the coming season.

FINAL MASTER'S TRAINING CAMP MAY 19TH AND 20TH

Two training camps have now been sailed and the last one is coming up May 19th and 20th.  Coaching has been superb, provided by Ian Elliott, John Russell and Krzysztof Machnowski. Haven't had a chance yet to hit the water?? This coming weekend is your chance to shake off the rust and get body and boat tuned for the ICebreaker regatta!

PLEASURE CRAFT OPERATORS LICENSE

The new material for the Pleasure Operators Card has arrived.  If you are interested in getting your card,  you can challenge the exam at the Club. In the past we have found that most people just want to study the material and challenge the test as it is quite straight forward.  Study materials are available for free at the Club or you can pick it up at any Registry office.  The booklet is called the Safe Boating Guide and is published by Transport Canada. The cost of the exam is $35 plus GST.  The exam is about 60 minutes in length and consists of 50 multiple choice questions. The license is good for life.  If you are interested in challenging the test, please call Fie at 403-272-3300

ICEBREAKER REGATTA MAY 25-26-27

The Icebreaker is just around the corner! This is the first of the Alberta series and held at Calgary Yacht Club. Registration will take place Friday evening and Saturday morning prior to the start of racing. 

The Notice of Race is posted on our website.  We are still looking for volunteers to help in the kitchen and on the water. Can you spare a day?  Give Fie a call: 403-272-3300
