Bewley Sailing is a member school of Sail Canada, formerly the Canadian Yachting Association (CYA), which governs the sport of sailing in Canada. All our programs are taught to their standards, which emphasise safety and good seamanship.
The Learn to Cruise division of Sail Canada / CYA, of which we are a part, teaches students to crew, or act as skipper aboard cruising sailboats. There are a number of courses laid out to achieve this end and they are listed below.
The most popular training we do is the CYA Basic Cruising course.
This takes a student with limited or no prior experience, over a period of 5 days, to the point where they can skipper a sloop of 6 to 10 metres in familiar waters in good conditions.
This then qualifies them to operate or rent such a vessel in protected waters where they can practise their new skills.
Those who wish to bareboat in the Gulf Islands, Virgin Islands or other popular boating areas should then take their Intermediate Cruising standard which is accepted in these areas as suitable proof of competence.
Advanced Cruising and Coastal Navigation training is also available.
