Sail Canada News – April 2019

Sail Canada is proud to announce the members of the 2019-2020 Canadian Sailing Team and Canadian Sailing Development Squad.

 

Based on the current Sail Canada High-Performance Plan and the Podium Pathway, what has been previously known as the National Sailing Team or the Canadian Sailing Team, is now divided into two divisions; The Canadian Sailing Team (“CST”) and The Canadian Sailing Development Squad (“CSDS”). Sail Canada believes it is important to make a shift from the notion that receiving Sport Canada AAP funding (“carded”) automatically translate to Canadian Sailing Team or National Team status.

That’s a wrap for the Hempel World Cup Series in Genoa

Canadian sailors gathered to compete in Round 3 of World Sailing’s World Cup Series 2019 in Genoa, Italy from April 14th to the 21st.

 

The week brought light and variable winds making it difficult for the sailors to get races in at the beginning of the event. CST member, Isabella Bertold kept to the top of the fleet, securing herself a spot at the medal races, finishing 12th overall.
