General Examiners are appointed by the Board of Directors for the purpose of evaluating members who are experienced sailors and prefer not to take the applicable courses. These evaluations will not result in award of any certification (e.g., under the CANSail program); a member may use Westwood’s boats in accordance with their evaluated status (i.e., Crew, Helm, or Skipper), as described in the club’s By-laws and Policies.
Albacore / Laser / Wave (Note: test must be performed on the Albacore)
Members may contact vicecommodore@westwoodsailing.ca if they wish to be evaluated for Helm status (CanSail 2 / WhiteSail3 equivalent) or Skipper status (CanSail 3 / BronzeSail 4 equivalent) on the Albacore, Laser, or Hobie Wave.
Evaluations will be based on the appropriate CANSail checklist. Checklists will be attached to this policy when developed.
Hobie 16 / Nacra 500 (Note: test must be performed on the Hobie 16)
Members may contact vicecommodore@westwoodsailing.ca if they wish to be evaluated for Helm or Skipper status on these larger catamarans. Members must be evaluated separately by two different Examiners for Skipper status.
