Basic Cruising Standard · Sailing Certification
Have you always wanted to become a competent crew or skipper? The Basic Cruising course is for you! We offer two options for students, depending on your comfort level and strengths.
Basic Cruising – Competent Crew
Students who have limited sailing experience will learn the ins and outs of cruising without the pressure of taking total control of the boat. You will move through the course at a pace you are comfortable with and learn how to be an asset on any sailboat! The Sail Canada Basic Crew Standard will be awarded to our Competent Crew students upon successful completion of this course.
Basic Cruising – Day Skipper
Students who have prior sailing experience and are looking to take control of the boat will be working on crew and skipper skills during the course. You will take on more responsibility with the goal of being confident and competent to handle the boat after the course on your own with a small crew. The Sail Canada Basic Cruising Standard will be awarded upon successful completion of the course to students who are comfortable taking full responsibility for the vessel.

2026 Okanagan End-to-End Regatta

Welcome to the 2026 Okanagan End-to-End Regatta!

Join us for two days of spectacular open-water racing on beautiful Okanagan Lake. Covering approximately 50 nautical miles, this annual event brings sailors from across the valley together for one of the Okanagan’s premier racing experiences.
The End-to-End Race will run from Vernon to Penticton, covering the full length of Okanagan Lake. After an early start on Saturday morning at the Vernon Yacht Club, day one finishes at the Kelowna Yacht Club, with an overnight stop before the fleet continues south on day two. The race wraps up Sunday afternoon at the Penticton Yacht Club. The change from September to June takes advantage of longer daylight hours, opening the door to a more complete run of the course.

Basic Cruising Standard · Sailing Certification
Have you always wanted to become a competent crew or skipper? The Basic Cruising course is for you! We offer two options for students, depending on your comfort level and strengths.
Basic Cruising – Competent Crew
Students who have limited sailing experience will learn the ins and outs of cruising without the pressure of taking total control of the boat. You will move through the course at a pace you are comfortable with and learn how to be an asset on any sailboat! The Sail Canada Basic Crew Standard will be awarded to our Competent Crew students upon successful completion of this course.
Basic Cruising – Day Skipper
Students who have prior sailing experience and are looking to take control of the boat will be working on crew and skipper skills during the course. You will take on more responsibility with the goal of being confident and competent to handle the boat after the course on your own with a small crew. The Sail Canada Basic Cruising Standard will be awarded upon successful completion of the course to students who are comfortable taking full responsibility for the vessel.
