Planning Sail Canada Long Term Development

December 14, 2022

More than 20 leaders representing disciplines of sailing across Canada gathered in Toronto, Monday and Tuesday, Dec. 5 and 6, to pursue the revision of Sail Canada Long Term Development in sailing framework. 

With this new framework, Sail Canada is looking to:

  • enable sailors to easily see pathway progressions, as well as connections and cross between pathways;
  • to transfer and broadly apply sailing skills.
  • to enable clubs and schools’ flexibility to offer programs outside established pathways.
  • to enable instructors and coaches to transfer their teaching skills across platforms.
  • and to establish a unified programming language, structure and branding.

The work will continue in the upcoming year with the launch of this revised Long Term Development in sailing framework under one intentional brand.
