REGATTA OVERVIEW
CYA 18 and Under National Sailing Championships
The championship name in English shall be the
- CYA Youth National Sailing Championship
and in French
- Championnat national junior de I'ACY.
The CYA Youth National Sailing Championship is a major regatta held annually by the Canadian Yachting Association and hosted by a member club.
Racing is provided for Canadian youth by bringing together competitors from all parts of Canada to an event that develops racing, race management and coaching skills, sportsmanship and friendship.
It also aims at giving the opportunity to the hosting club to raise the enthusiasm of their youth sailors.
This event is a qualifier event for the Canadian Youth Sailing Team.
Entry is restricted to sailors who are Canadian citizens, or landed immigrants permanently residing in Canada. Each sailor must provide a copy of their birth certificate or other proof of citizenship at the time of registration.
Awards presented at this event include:
- Bill Gooderham Trophy – National Youth Championship (all class winners listed)
- Interlux Trophy – Single Handed Youth Championship
- CYWIS Trophy – Canada’s Young Women in Single handed Sailing – Byte
- CYA Canadian Youth Sailing Championship – Laser Radial Class
- Women’s Double Handed Champion – CYA Canadian Youth Championship
- Interlux Trophy Double Handed Youth Championship
- Fogh Marine Sportsmanship Trophy
- Canadian Youth Championship, Byte Trophy (overall)
Sail East and Sail West
The championship names shall be:
In English, the
- CYA Sail East Regatta, and the CYA Sail West Regatta
and in French
- Régate de voile de l’est de l’ACY et Régate de voile de l’ouest de l’ACY.CYA Sail East and CYA Sail West are multi-class, open regattas held by the Canadian Yachting Association (CYA) and hosted by member clubs.
The primary objectives of these two regattas are the promotion and development of top-level racing and race management skills in a regional context.
These events are designed to reflect the character of the host club and region. They may on occasion be related to other "celebrations" such as a centennial or world fair. However, the identity of CYA Sail East or CYA Sail West as a special and separate event must be protected. Piggybacking with another established regatta or race series at the same time or location is therefore discouraged. However, scheduling should be encouraged that allows for competitors to remain in the Regatta area for other competitions scheduled around the Sail East or Sail West events.
CYA 16 and Under (Eastern and Western) National Sailing Championships
The championship names shall be:
In the west (BC to MA) in English the
- CYA 16 and Under Western National Sailing Championships
and in French
- Championnat national de l’ouest 16 and et moins de l’ACY.
In the east (ON to NFLD) in English the
- CYA 16 and Under Eastern National Sailing Championships
and in French
- Championnat national de l’est 16 and et moins de l’ACY.
The CYA 16 and Under National Sailing Championships are major regattas held annually by the Canadian Yachting Association and hosted by a member club.
This event is run with the CYA 15 and Under (Eastern and Western) National Sailing Championships sailed in the Optimist class.
The prime objectives of the CYA 16 and Under National Sailing Championships are to:
- Recruit 16 and under sailors into CYA racing programs.
- Ensure that the highest quality racing is provided to the competitors by bringing together sailors from the western and the eastern provinces to a regional event which develops racing and sailing skills, sportsmanship and friendship.
- To promote coaches to “network” at the regional level, and to become familiar with National Sport Centre coaches.
It also aims at giving the opportunity to the hosting club to raise the enthusiasm of their youth sailors. Awards presented for the Western event are the:
- CYA 15 and Under Western National Sailing Championship Award
- CYA Interlux Trophy – Western Canadian Intermediate Championship - CYA 16 and Under Double Handed)
- Western Intermediate Sailing Champion – Byte Class
Awards presented for the Eastern event are the:
- CYA Canadian 15 and Under Sailing Championships Eastern
- Interlux Trophy – Eastern Canadian Intermediate Championship 16 and Under
CYA Women’s Keelboat National Championship
The championship names shall be in English, the
- CYA Women’s Keelboat National Championship
and in French
- Championnat national feminine en quillard de l’ACY.
The CYA Women’s Keelboat National Championship is held annually by the CYA and hosted by a member club. This event provides an excellent regatta whereupon Canada’s Canadian Sailing Team members, provincial athletes, club members, and general sailing enthusiasts can come together and partake in a national event. The event is usually held later in the season so as to allow Provincial Associations the opportunity to have provincial feeding regattas/clinics.
It is preferable that this event is held in boats provided by the host club and/or by a class association. However, CYA realizes that this is not always possible.
The CYA Trophy for Canadian Women’s Sailing Championship is presented at this event.

U.S. Portsmouth Yardstick Numbers
Désolé, la version française de cette page n'est pas encore disponible.
Thanks to US Sailing, the following link will give you the most up to date info for the US Portsmouth Olympic Homepage
The US Sailing Portsmouth Yardstick is a widely used method of rating boats of different classes sailing the same course. These numbers are defined as the length of time boats would take to sail a common but unspecified distance.
Clubs and organizations using this rating system are asked to forward race data including information on the average wind velocity, class of boat, elapsed time and corrected time (if possible) to Darline Hobock or 5373 E. 27th St. Tulsa, OK 74114, USA.
PHRF, qu'est-ce que c'est?
Les handicaps PHRF sont des handicaps de performance des bateaux, calculés d'après la vitesse potentielle des diverses classes. Ils ne sont pas censés être calculés d'après la performance observée de yachts en course.
Les handicaps PHRF ne sont pas des handicaps pour barreurs ou équipiers et ils ne visent pas à compenser un manque de compétence ou du matériel insuffisant (comme au golf). Les handicaps PHRF ne sont pas déterminés par des formules ou des mesures, mais par des résultats de course et par la vitesse potentielle des différentes classes. Ainsi, les voiliers peuvent continuer à régater, même contre des modèles plus récents et plus rapides. Le système PHRF convient très bien aux courses de club et aux courses inter-clubs.
Dans notre région PHRF, Lake Ontario, lorsque arrive un nouveau type de bateau, nous prenons un yacht standard, dont nous manipulons et analysons les données afin de lui donner un handicap provisoire. Ensuite, lorsque nous avons suffisamment de résultats de course, nous réévaluons et, le cas échéant, confirmons le handicap initial.
On entend par « yacht standard », un yacht dont:
- le gréement, la coque et le lest sont conformes aux spécifications du fabricant.
- la plus grande voile d'avant a, sans pénalité, un LP de 153 %.
- le spinnaker ne dépasse pas 153 %.
- le mode de propulsion est soit un hors-bord, relevé en course, soit une hélice repliable ou une hélice en drapeau.
- le tangon de spi ne dépasse pas le J, avec un spi standard.
- le mode de propulsion peut atteindre la racine carrée de la LWL.
- Si le yacht a une quille escamotable, il doit pouvoir se redresser par lui-même lorsque la quille est escamotée, ou bien la quille doit être en place pendant les courses.
Nous donnons alors au yacht standard une vitesse potentielle (SP) pour sa classe, laquelle est ensuite ajustée compte tenu des éléments avantageux et désavantageux pour donner le handicap de course, ou vitesse potentielle assignée (ASP).
Le système PHRF est un système qui repose sur la bonne foi de yachtsmen objectifs et qui donne au propriétaire, et à lui seul, le devoir de prévenir le handicapeur de tout changement dans les tolérances de son bateau. En cas de réclamation, le comité de réclamation peut demander à voir le certificat et peut exiger que le bateau et ses voiles soient jaugés afin d'en vérifier la conformité.
CE QUE VEULENT DIRE LES CHIFFRES: Plus un yacht est rapide, plus l'ASP (en secondes par mille marin) de son TOD (temps sur distance) est bas. La méthode de calcul TOT (temps sur temps) donne un facteur de correction exprimé en secondes/heure.
CHANGEMENT DE HANDICAP: On ne change pas le handicap d'un yacht pour empêcher quelqu'un de gagner, et les handicapeurs s'efforcent de ne faire de changements que pour mieux tenir compte de la VITESSE POTENTIELLE qu'indiquent les données de course de la classe en question, afin qu'il existe de la compétition entre les barreurs.

L'ACY invite les associations de classe à lui envoyer les noms des jaugeurs actuels de classe des niveaux provincial, national et international. Veuillez s'il vous plaît communiquer avec Erika Vines.
Compte-rendu de la discussion sur la jauge, dimanche le 20 janvier
Premièrement, un merci spécial à David Sprague, notre vice-président du comité des classes de l’ISAF, président du sous-comité international de jauge et vice-président sénior de l’ACY pour avoir mené la discussion sur la jauge dimanche le 20 janvier à l’exposition nautique de Toronto.
La discussion, intitulée “Qu’est-ce que la jauge?” a abordé le rôle des règles de l’ISAF sur l’équipement de voile. Ensuite, M. Sprague a expliqué ce qui se passe présentement pour la jauge dans les différentes classes au Canada. Finalement, la discussion c'est fermée sur les mesures proposées pour améliorer la jauge au Canada. Un membre du jury international, des jaugeurs des classes one-design ainsi qu’un représentant PHRF et des membres du personnel de l’ACY étaient présents.
En général, les participants ont reconnu:
a) que l’ACY doit recevoir à son bureau l’information concernant les jaugeurs pour chaque classe, ainsi que l’information de personnes ressources à contacter pour la jauge;
b) le besoin d’exposer un plus grand nombre de navigateurs (incluant le niveau junior) à la jauge avant les épreuves internationales et ce, pendant les régates régionales;
c) le besoin d’avoir un document décrivant les bases de la jauge afin de familiariser les gens;
d) l'importance d'offrir des opportunités de consulter un mentor.
Aux associations de classe: assurez-vous de nous envoyer l'information concernant les jaugeurs, ainsi que des détails sur les séminaires de jauge pour les différentes classes. Ainsi, nous pouvons publiciser vos activités!

CYA Appeals for 2005-2008 Racing Rules of Sailing Updated January 22, 2007
Experimental Arbitration System
Désolé, la version française de cette page n'est pas encore disponible.
From the ISAF International Judges Manual:
Appendix 8. Protest Arbitration
Protest arbitration is a process of resolving protests without the formality of a full protest hearing. Arbitration is simply a short meeting between the sailors involved in a protest and an experienced judge serving as the arbitrator. The sailors tell the arbitrator what happened on the water and the arbitrator makes a decision about which boat, if any, broke a rule. The party that broke a rule is offered the chance to take a reduced penalty. If the arbitrator’s decision is accepted, the protestor withdraws his protest and the dispute is resolved before the protest is formally heard by the Protest Committee. The primary purpose of arbitration is to simplify and speed up the protest process for incidents that do not require the full protest hearing process.
8.1 The Penalty
A penalty accepted at arbitration holds the same status as an alternative penalty taken on the water or a penalty imposed in the full Protest Committee hearing. The alternative penalty for arbitration should be more than an alternative penalty taken on the water, but significantly less than a DSQ. Most judges have found that a 40% penalty works best. A more severe penalty often results in a competitor refusing to take it and instead taking a chance on a DSQ in the protest room. A less severe penalty cheapens the penalty that a competitor promptly accepts on the water. The arbitration scoring penalty is the number of points equal to 40% of the boats entered (rounding 0.5 upward) added to her finishing place, except that she shall not be scored worse than the points for a DSQ. As in other scoring penalties, there is no change to the finishing order of other boats in the race. Therefore two boats may receive the same score.
8.2 Principles of Arbitration
In considering arbitration for an event, it is important for the organisers and the Protest Committee to understand the impact of arbitration on the racing rules. When used as described here, arbitration is consistent with the 2001- 2004 Racing Rules of Sailing. No rules in Part 5 (Protests, Redress, Hearings, Misconduct and Appeals) that protect the interests of the competitors are compromised by arbitration. All of the safeguards built into Part 5 Section A (Protests and Redress) and Part 5 Section B (Hearings and Decisions) remain in place. If the decision of the arbitrator is accepted by the protestor, the protest is withdrawn. If not, the protest remains and must be heard under the rules of Part 5 by the Protest Committee. See rule 63.1 (Requirement for a Hearing).
It is advisable that competitors be notified in the notice of race and sailing instructions that all protests involving a rule of Part 2 will be subject to arbitration. The sailing instructions should include:
"Rule 44.1 is changed to permit a boat to take a 40% scoring penalty as calculated in rule 44.3(c) during the arbitration hearing".
- Arbitration takes place after a written protest has been filed, but prior to the protest hearing. The arbitration hearing is held in a quiet location, well away from other competitors and observers. Testimony given during arbitration should not be overheard by any potential witnesses of a subsequent protest hearing. Only the arbitration judge, the protestor and the protestee are permitted to attend. No witnesses will be allowed. If a competitor believes his case requires a witness, the protest will go to a protest hearing.
The hearing is informal but efficient. At the outset of the hearing, the arbitrator will explain the process so that the competitors are comfortable with the procedure. The following principles should be followed:
- Arbitration should only be used for protests where:
- the incident involves two boats only. A protest involving three or more boats is usually too complex for a single judge to handle in less than 15 minutes.
- the incident is limited to the rules of Part 2. If it becomes clear that other rules are applicable, or another boat may be involved, the arbitration hearing should be closed and the protest forwarded to the protest committee.
- there was no contact that could have caused inProtest Committee or serious damage.
- An arbitration hearing is not a protest hearing. While the general procedures of hearing a protest are used in arbitration, the arbitrator is not bound by the rules of Part 5 that govern the conduct of a protest hearing. The arbitrator and the competitors should understand that any participant in an arbitration hearing may decide that the protest should heard by the Protest Committee. Such a request from a competitor must not be denied.
- The arbitrator conducts the hearing with the knowledge that the protest may still become a protest hearing. The arbitrator never enters into a discussion an interpretation of a rule or answers questions about his conclusions until his decision is accepted and the protest withdrawn.
- The arbitration hearing begins with validity. The arbitrator may accept validity or may suggest that the protest be withdrawn when it is clearly invalid. If the validity of the protest is unclear, the arbitrator should refer the protest to the Protest Committee.
- Using model boats, the arbitrator takes each party’s evidence in turn, allowing questioning, but tightly controlling testimony. The decision made during arbitration is based on the high probability that more rigorous questioning of the parties or their witnesses will not substantially change the facts presented to the arbitrator.
- The arbitrator will decide:
- One or both boats broke a rule. Without saying so, the arbitrator applies the principles of exoneration to a boat that has been compelled by the other boat to break a rule. See rule 64.1(b).
- Neither boat broke a rule.
- The protest should go to the Protest Committee. The protest might be too complicated to decide without witnesses or may involve a rule not suited to arbitration.
- The entire process should take no longer than 15 minutes. If that time is exceeded, the issue is too complex for arbitration, and the arbitration hearing should be terminated. The protest is then forwarded to the protest committee.
- If the arbitrator’s decision is accepted and the appropriate penalty(s) taken, the protestor may withdraw the protest. For arbitration hearings, the Protest Committee agrees to give the arbitrator the right to act on the committee’s behalf and approve a request to withdraw a protest under rule 63.1 (Requirement for a Hearing).
- If the protest is not withdrawn, it must be heard by the Protest Committee. Sometimes a protestor may refuse to withdraw the protest in order that the protestee will be scored DSQ in the protest hearing. The arbitrator may need to explain that if a boat accepts a penalty in the arbitration hearing, rule 44.4(b) (Limits on Penalties) applies. In such a case, the protest committee may penalize the protestor in the subsequent protest hearing, but the boat that took the penalty may not be penalized further.
- Once the protest is withdrawn, the arbitrator is free to discuss any phpect of the case with the parties to the hearing. Successful arbitration is often followed with a number of “what if” scenarios played out between the judge and the sailors.
- The arbitration judge must not serve as a member of the protest committee impaneled to hear that same protest. There are two reasons for this. First, the arbitration judge will always be seen by the competitors to have already made up his mind. Second, the arbitrator will invariably have evidence obtained during arbitration that will not be available in the protest hearing.
- Testimony given during the arbitration hearing shall remain confidential and the arbitrator shall not discuss any phpect of the arbitration with the Protest Committee before the hearing. The arbitration judge shall not be called as a witness. His testimony is not first hand.
- It is desirable but not mandatory that the arbitrator not be an observer in a protest hearing of the same incident. Some judges believe that the arbitrator’s presence in the hearing room keeps the parties from changing their stories. That view must be weighed against the importance of having the arbitration process be seen by the sailors as completely separate from the protest hearing.
8.3 The Procedures
When a protest is delivered to the protest desk, the judge or Protest Committee secretary accepting protests logs the time and asks the protestor to stand by. A judge then determines if the protest is suitable for arbitration and if so, the protestor is asked to find the representative of the other boat. The arbitration hearing is scheduled to be heard as soon as both boats are present.
If one of the parties does not come to the arbitration hearing, the arbitration hearing does not proceed. The voluntary nature of arbitration makes rule 63.3(b) inapplicable. The Protest Committee secretary will schedule the protest for a protest hearing.
The judge should have available the notice of race, the sailing instructions and any amendments to them, a current rule book, a watch to keep track of the time and boat models. If he desires, he may also have The Case Book on hand, but he should not refer to it while the competitors are in the room. However, if an ISAF Case must be consulted, the incident may already be too complex for arbitration.
Preprinted forms for penalty acceptance and withdrawing the protest are useful but not mandatory. The arbitrator assists the protestor in correcting protest contents under rule 61.2. The arbitrator does not write his decision on the protest form in case his decision is not accepted by the competitors.
Keep in mind that even if both parties agree with the arbitration decision, the arbitration is not complete until the withdrawal of the protest is approved by the arbitrator. It is advisable to have a signature from a competitor accepting a penalty during arbitration or from a boat withdrawing the protest. If no forms are available, the arbitrator can write on the protest form the words “I withdraw this protest” or “I acknowledge breaking a rule and accept a 40% penalty.” and the competitor is asked to sign the statement.
The arbitrator may accept a request, with good reason, to withdraw the protest before the arbitration hearing. However, if the hearing proceeds and the arbitrator decides the protestor broke a rule, the protester is not permitted to withdraw the protest before he accepts the penalty.
If the arbitration is not accepted, the arbitrator must not discuss any part of the arbitration decision with the Protest Committee. When the protest is withdrawn, the arbitrator should freely discuss the protest with the competitors and may refer them to a specific rule, case or other pertinent information.
Arbitration decisions are not subject to appeal. Rule 70.1 dictates that only Protest Committee decisions can be appealed. If the arbitration decision is accepted the protest is withdrawn. So there is no protest remaining and nothing to appeal. If the protest is not withdrawn it remains to be decided by the Protest Committee whose decision may be subject to appeal.
8.4 The Arbitrator
The judge who will arbitrate should be a highly qualified and experienced judge with a strong command of the rules. The arbitrator must think and make decisions quickly and must command the respect of the sailors. An excellent deliberative judge may not make the best arbitrator and will usually be more valuable in untangling the complex protests that were not quickly resolved through arbitration. If a judge would like to learn the arbitration process, it is acceptable to allow him to audit the arbitration hearing as an observer, as long as both parties agree. But be aware that neither the arbitrator nor the observer will be able to sit on a panel that might later hear that protest.
8.5 Conclusion
Sailboat racing is a self-policing sport and the method to resolve a dispute on the water begins with the hail of “protest.” If the protested boat takes a penalty on the water, the dispute is resolved. If the protested boat does not take a penalty, the rest of the process is often seen by competitors to be too formal and too time consuming. Protest arbitration provides an intermediate method of protest resolution before the protest is heard formally by the protest committee. Arbitration gives sailors a chance to take a less severe penalty than disqualification when they realize that they have broken a rule. Arbitration does not solve all protests, but for most situations involving the rules of Part 2, arbitration is seen by competitors to be fast, informal and much less intimidating than attending a protest hearing.
The system of arbitration has been used very successfully at International events in the US and Caribbean for the last 5 years. As the system has evolved it has been found that it is necessary to be exacting about the Sailing Instructions when using the system.
It is necessary to alter two sections of the SI's. One section on PENALTY SYSTEMS [usually immediately preceding the section on PROTESTS] and the other section on ARBITRATION, which usually follows the section of the SI's on PROTESTS. Such modified sections of the SI's that have proved successful in practice are as follows:
14 PENALTY SYSTEMS
14.1 A boat that may have broken a rule of Part 2 while racing may take a penalty at the time of the incident by promptly making a 720 degree Turn after the incident in compliance with RRS 44.2 or by taking a Scoring Penalty in compliance with RRS 44.3 3 as amended by Sailing Instruction 14.1.
14.1.1 The 20% penalty shall not be less than 2 places.
14.2 RRS 44.1 is modified to allow a boat to take an Arbitration Penalty for a breach of a rule of Part 2 after the incident but prior to the protest hearing by acknowledging the breach before arbitration or by accepting the opinion of the arbitrator. This Arbitration Penalty shall be 40% of the number of boats entered (rounding 0.5 upward), but shall not be less than four places, added to her finish position. However she shall not be scored worse than "Did not finish".
16 ARBITRATION
16.1 For protests involving an alleged breach of a rule of Part 2, a short arbitration hearing of not more than 10 minutes will be held prior to a protest hearing. This changes Part 5, Section B of the RRS.
16.2 After a written protest is delivered to the Protest Desk, one representative from each boat will meet with the arbitrator unless the protestor requests that the protest be withdrawn. No witnesses will be allowed. Protests not resolved by arbitration will be forwarded to the Protest Committee.
16.3 A boat that accepts the arbitrators opinion that she broke a rule of Part 2 shall receive a penalty score of 40% as detailed in Sailing Instruction 14.2.
16.4 The acceptance of an Arbitration Penalty cannot be grounds for redress or be appealed.
16.5 The arbitrator will not be a member of the Protest Committee that hears the protest but will be permitted to observe the testimony given to the Protest Committee and offer testimony. This changes rule 63.3(a).
Code d'Admissibilité de l'ACY et de l'ISAF
Le 6 mai 2001, l'ISAF a apporté quelques modifications au Code d'Admissibilité. Celles-ci remettent le droit à l'ACY de décider à quelles épreuves le code d'admissibilité de l'ISAF entrera en vigueur lors de régates d'ordre régional et/ou national.
La politique d'adhésion canadienne repose sur les critères suivants:

Special Regulations
Désolé, la version française de cette page n'est pas encore disponible.
Purpose and Use:
It is the purpose of the Special Regulations to establish uniform minimum equipment, accommodation and training standards for monohull and multihull yachts racing offshore.
These Special Regulations do not replace, but rather supplement, the requirements of governmental authority, the Racing Rules and the rules of Class Associations and Rating Systems. The attention of owners is called to restrictions in the Rules on the location and movement of equipment.
The Offshore Racing Council strongly recommends the use of these Special Regulations by all organizers of offshore races. Race Committees may select the category deemed most suitable for the type of race to be sailed.
The Special Regulations are reviewed every two years, and are published by the International Sailing Federation (ISAF), see Offshore Regulations.

April 2008 Newsletter of the Women Sailors' Association
From the CYA Women's Committee
Women’s Sailing Highlight Events & Proposed Objectives for 2007:
- Provinces can apply for funding for their Women’s programs by applying to have it as a Women’s Highlight event
- CYA Women’s Committee will commit to highlight events in each region (west, central, east). We will do our best distribute the limited allotted funds throughout country.
- These Highlight events will include the existing Speaker Series program.
- If your speaker series does not get named a Women’s Highlight event we encourage you to contact your Provincial Association to see if they will help support your event.
- In order for your event to be named a women’s highlight event it must fall under one of the Women’s Committee initiatives for 2006/2007. They are as follows:
- Training Camp for athletes and coaches
- A speaker at an event (replacing full speaker series)
- Mentoring opportunity for younger sailing community members to work with a mentor in their area (can be an athlete-athlete, coach-coach, athlete-coach, athlete-official, official-official etc..)
- The Women’s Keelboat Championship gets automatic recognition as a Women’s highlight event and will be counted under whichever region it occurs for that year.
- Other similar special event to be presented to the Women’s Committee for approval.

2006 Female Coach Initiative:
The CYA Womens' Committee supported Female Coachng for the Canadian Team at the 2006 Optimist Dinghy European Championships.
History of the CYA Women in Wind Campaign
On June 28, 2003 at the Armdale Yacht Club in Halifax NS, Christine Searle, Chair of the CYA's Womens Committee launched a national awareness campaign designed to help increase the participation of women in sailing.
Currently, less than 30% of Canada's competitive sailors are female and only 15% are coaches and officials. Yet 50% of those participating in Learn to Sail programs are female. The "Women in Wind" presentation aims to increase the participation of women and girls to participate in the lifelong sport of sailing. The presentation provides information and examples of how women of all ages and interests can get involved in sailing. The New and Improved Women in Wind Presentation, Updated January 2005 is now available. Please check the PDF Version. Please also check out Appendix 1- Organization of sailing in Powerpoint and Appendix 1- Organization of sailing in PDF and Appendix 2-Ottawa Women's Sailing Association Case Study in Powerpoint and Appendix 2-Ottawa Women's Sailing Association Case Study in PDF.
Each year, women sailors, coaches and race officials from across the country are encouraged to attend and help organize "Women in Wind" seminars, camps and clinics. The goal of any "Women and Wind" initiative is to increase the numbers of girls and women involved with the sport of sailing.
The CYA "Women In Wind" Program is a well recognized initiative, most recently featured in the new ACTive Canadian Strategy and Action Blueprint. This project was spearheaded by the Canadian Association for the Advancement of Women in Sport, also known as CAAWS.
In the fall of 2002, the CYA Women's Committee prepared a planning and evaluation template for the Women and Wind Program (PDF)
CYA Women and Wind Description
Some examples of events granted assistance &/or funding via the "Women in Wind" initiatives in the past include:
- Race clinics for youth sailors as well as the "young at heart" in all boat types.
- Race Management, Umpiring and Judging clinics.
- Financial assistance given to women pursuing goals in measurement, coaching and as officials.
- Guest speakers at seminars, clinics and camps.
