CYA Sail Central with U17 Championships –
(The inaugural year for CYA Sail Central is 2012. Due to what is already a busy calendar for our developing sailors, the CYA has embarked on a system of applying CYA Sail Central into events already taking place for our developing athletes in Central Canada. The CYA Sail Central event will take place at the annual events of Hudson Yacht Club’s Fruitbowl in Quebec, and CORK International, in Ontario, on an annually rotating basis.)

NB: In the event that a PSA deems not to be bidding to host in a year they are entitled to, the opportunity to consider bidding will go to the other provinces of the region. Allocation to a province other than the one in rotation table does not result in revision to the set rotation (i.e. should MB not have taken their ‘turn’ to host SW in 2011 and BC hosted as alternate, BC would still get first offer to host in 2012, and MB’s next turn would fall in 2015).
