Are you a Sailor or Power Boater?

 

Have you ever wanted to learn how
to NAVIGATE or operate a VHF RADIO?

- not sure where or how to go about it - or even whether you can afford it?

- if this is you, then we have you covered, whether cruising is still a dream or something a whole lot more tangible

In two weekends during April you can achieve CYA Certification in Navigation and also a VHF Radio Operator Certificate - you can do both or numbers permitting, either one.
 
This is not a Distance Education course.  An experienced and fully CYA qualified Instructor, George Bush, who operates from Winnipeg and Nanaimo, BC will teach the course in person right here in REGINA.

The Course Format will be:

      • April 15 & 29  Friday Evenings            - VHF Radio
      • April 16 & 30  Saturdays am & pm       - Navigation
      • April 17 & May1 Sundays am & pm     -  Navigation

             This allows two full weeks between sessions, for study and practice exercises. 
          During this time the instructor will be available as required to answer questions.
Course materials - workbooks, charts etc are supplied - just bring a pencil & eraser!

 

The cost, which includes everything except lunches is just $400 for both courses!! ($300 for Nav + $100 for VHF).  We are not aware of any CYA Certified Navigation Course offered for less than $399.00 and that would involve multiple trips & hotel at the coast.  You might save $50.00 through a Nav. Distance Ed Course(= a manual) but with no face to face or hands-on instruction or group discussion.  In these two weekends in Regina you can achieve full certification  in both skill areas! Billeting may be possible for out-of-towners.
If you ever intend gaining this expertise and certification - this is your chance - it will never be cheaper or more convenient!

As of January 1st, 2011 both these courses have become pre-requisites for the CYA Coastal Cruising Level 2 Course.  This is the minimum certification recognized worldwide for "bare boat" chartering.  If 8 or more register for Navigation we will be able to expand the Friday evening VHF Operator's Course component to 15 students.
