Requirement to Hold Advanced Cruising Certification for Liveaboard teaching

Policy relaxation for 2019.

It is a policy of the Learn to Cruise and Power system that Instructors hold Advanced Cruising as a student in order to deliver liveaboard Cruising (Sail) courses leading to any certification level. This spring Sail Canada has been involved in conversations that indicated that a number of schools were unaware of this requirement. The Cruising Subcommittee has considered the potential relaxation of this requirement, on either a temporary or permanent basis. The result of these discussions is that the policy should remain in force as there are good reasons to demand completion of training and demonstration of skills beyond those expected of entry level instructors and evaluated in entry level instructor development programs (Start Keelboat and Basic Cruise).
