The Basic Cruising Standard

The 28-hour Basic Cruise course offered by the Ottawa Sailing School provides you with the instruction necessary to achieve the Canadian Yachting Association (CYA) Basic Cruising Standard. If you are not comfortable taking on the role of skipper, you may chose to complete the Compentent Crew Standard, rather than the Basic Cruising Standard.

Both of the standards are described on the CYA website.
