Join the Canadian Forces Sailing Association (CFSA)! The CFSA offers many opportunities for kids, adults and families to have fun out on the water. Joining the club is easy and inexpensive. Members have access to club sailing dinghies, a 23 ft SONAR keel-boat and an active racing program.
Junior Race Team
Our Junior Race Team practices throughout the fall and spring, participating in regattas around BC, the Pacific Northwest and North America. Junior sailors have typically attended CANSail camps and are between 8-19 years of age. They can compete in Optimist, Club 420 and Laser class dinghies. Junior Sailors are members of the club and are welcome to practice and compete with club boats as part of the organized race team practices or as self-organized drop-in practices. The first regattas of the New Year start in February and our Spring Season begins in early April with professional coaches and some eager sailors that make the team a fun and social environment.
For more information, please contact our Race Team Director SailingInstructor@cfsaesq.ca.
Adult members
Adult members of the club take part in Sunday racing almost every week in privately owned keel-boats and the club owned SONAR. This can be a great way to learn about sailing, join a crew and meet people who are passionate about the sport of sailing. The club has a policy of “leave no one on the dock” on club race day. Our website has the racing schedule and the Fleet Captain is always willing to answer questions and play matchmaker between new-crew and skippers.
For more information, please contact FleetCaptain@cfsaesq.ca.
Moorage
Owning a sailboat is fun and a great way to have a floating cottage on our beautiful Pacific Coast. It gives families easy and fun access to marine parks and islands that most people will never see or visit. CFSA has reciprocal privileges at many other marinas in BC, USA and around the world. Moorage is available to members at our docks and we have a lively cruising fleet that helps members expand their cruising skills with organized cruises and planning sessions.
