Canadian Sailor Clean Water Initiative

On Thursday, Canadian sailors gathered on the beach in Palma to collect debris they found. Hugh Macrae, Laser Sailor comments on the Canadian Sailors Clean Water Initiative;

 

“It was nice getting together with the team yesterday and to collect garbage was a bonus. We got three full grocery bag sizes of garbage over an hour of walking along the beach after training. Looking forward to the next team clean up gathering to help eliminate micro plastics in the ocean.”

 

Stay tuned as this initiative continues as they travel the world.

Launch Day is Coming!

It’s that time of year…..we’re counting down the days to launch our boats – some work followed by a long season of reward!

 

While it is unlikely that launch day will present any issues, who doesn’t hold their breath as they watch their vessel move from land to sea?? Let’s take a second now to think… ‘what happens if there is an accident and my boat gets damaged?’

 

Did you know that Skippers’ Plan is the only insurance policy in Canada that automatically waives your deductible if your boat is damaged during launch at your club? This exclusive endorsement is provided free of charge to members of a Sail Canada member Club.
