Once
a sailor has achieved their White and Bronze Sail levels,
they can continue to advance their skills through the Silver,
and Gold levels.
The Race programs are for sailors who want to continue to
apply their technical skills and develop racing skills. Silver
Sail VI and Gold Sail VII start by introducing sailors to
racing, and moves into advanced racing techniques. They cover
racing rules, sail theory, tactics and advanced boat handling
skills in almost any wind condition. These courses are taught
in “Laser II’s” and the sailors are expected
to participate in regattas outside the club on the Ontario
regatta circuit including CORK. Full time coaching is provided.
Single-handed racers are encouraged to bring their own boats
and will receive a discount if they do so.
Race Team is a program for sailors who are motivated and
have a keen interest in racing and who wish to work through
their Silver and Gold Sail levels. These sailors are expected
to participate in an extensive regatta schedule and parents
will be required to drive and chaperone at regattas.
Throughout the summer team members learn to race and compete
at various regattas throughout Ontario & Quebec under
the guidance of a CYA-certified Race Coach. Sailors learn
racing rules, tactics, and competitive boat-handling skills
through on-water drills and on-shore coaching sessions. By
the end of the summer, participants in this program will become
confident, highly-skilled sailors and may earn their CYA Learn
to Race certificate.
The KYC Junior Race Team
requires occasional weekend travel, and demands a high level
of commitment from both sailors and their parents, who will
be asked to chaperone at regattas and/or help provide transportation
to races. In addition, regatta fees and travel expenses (transportation,
lodging, food) are not covered in the program registration
fee.
