We offer two options for students\, depending on your comfort level and strengths. \nBasic Cruising – Competent Crew\nStudents 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. \nBasic Cruising – Day Skipper\nStudents 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. \nThe Sail Canada Basic Crew Standard \nBasic Cruising Standard\nAge: 15 +\nPrice: $875\n2026 Dates: \n\nBasic Cruising Course 1 – April\n \n\nTuesdays: March 31\, April 7\, 14  |  6:00 PM  – 9:00 PM  |  Classroom Sessions\nSundays: April 5\, 12\, 19 |  9:00 AM – 4:00 PM  |  Sailing Session\n\n\nBasic Cruising Course 2 – May  \n \n\nTuesdays: May 12\, 19\, 26  |  6:00 PM  – 9:00 PM   |  Classroom Sessions\nSundays: May 17\, 24\, 31  |  9:00 AM – 4:00 PM  |  Sailing Session\n\n\nBasic Cruising Course 3 – June\n \n\nTuesdays: June 2\, 9\, 16 |  6:00 PM  – 9:00 PM  |  Classroom Sessions\nSundays: June 7\, 14\, 21  |  9:00 AM – 4:00 PM  |  Sailing Session\n\n\nBasic Cruising Course 4 – September\n \n\nTuesdays: September 8\, 15\, 22  |  6:00 PM  – 9:00 PM   |  Classroom Sessions\nSundays: September 13\, 20\, 27  |  9:00 AM – 4:00 PM  |  Sailing Session\n\n\nBasic Cruising Course 5 – October \n \n\nTuesdays: October 6\, 13\, 20  |  6:00 PM  – 9:00 PM   |  Classroom Sessions\nSundays: October 11\, 18\, 25  |  9:00 AM – 4:00 PM  |  Sailing Session\n\n\nBasic Cruising Course 6 – November \n \n\nTuesdays: November 3\, 10\, 17  |  6:00 PM  – 9:00 PM  |  Classroom Sessions\nSundays: November 8\, 15\, 22 |  9:00 AM – 4:00 PM  |  Sailing Session\n\n\n\nWhat’s Included:  \n\nCourse textbook\, study materials\nAshore and afloat instruction\nLogbook\, exam and certification\n​Pleasure Craft Operator Card (PCOC)\n\nHave questions about these courses?  Contact the KYC Sailing & Watersport Education Team directly at sailingschool@kelownayachtclub.com. \nPricing does not include GST\, which will be applied to all adult courses.
