2022 End of Summer BBQ Banquet 27 August

The CBYC Sailing School and CBYC Racers are teaming up to hold an End-of-Summer BBQ Banquet on Saturday 27 August to celebrate the great summer of sailing and fun.

All CBYC Racers, sailing school students and their families from all of our 2022 youth and adult sessions, along with all CBYC Club members and marina patrons, are invited to join us.

The BBQ will begin at 5pm and will feature hot dogs, hamburgers, salads, soft-drinks, and dessert. There is also a Steak & Baked Potato option for those with more grown-up tastes.

Dress is casual / garden-party attire (polo shirt, sundress, etc….something a little nicer than sweaty sailing gear!).

In addition to the BBQ, there will be an awards ceremony for our wonderful summer sailors, and a raffle to raise funds for equipment necessary to refresh our sailing school fleet.

Cost for the Hamburger/Hot-dog option will be $13 for adults and $10 for youth. Cost for the Steak & Baked Potato option will be $20. There will be vegetarian burger option – please mention when making your reservation.

Sign-up list and tickets are available  at the marina office, and we ask that you sign up by Saturday 20 August so that we know how much food we need. Deadline extended until noon on Thursday 25 August

If you can’t make it to the marina office by Saturday, please call the marina at 613-389-4455, or email us to let us know you are coming. Please mention any dietary restrictions.

Finally, we are looking for helpers for preparations, set-up, and running the BBQ. Please  email us if you would like to help.

CBYC Sailing School COVID-19 Update (27 May 2020)

At the end of March, not long after the onset of the public health restrictions ordered by the Government of Ontario, the CBYC Sailing School decided to continue accepting registrations for its summer 2020 youth and adult learn-to-sail programs while we gathered information on the longer-term impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and new procedures for managing its effects.

Now, at the end of May, the Sailing School has had to make the very difficult decision to cancel youth and adult learn-to-sail programs for the coming season. The social distancing and other public health restrictions expected to remain in effect in Ontario throughout the summer make it impossible to deliver an effective and safe summer camp experience for youth, or adult keelboat program. While disappointing, we believe it is the right decision to protect the health and safety of our participants, instructors, volunteers, club members, families, and our community.

Accordingly, the Sailing School will be proceeding with the cancellation of all current registrations. Any fees paid in advance will be refunded in full.

Should provincial restrictions change again in the coming weeks, we will of course take time to reconsider the Sailing School’s current decision in light of all new conditions. The staff and volunteers at the CBYC Sailing School are looking forward to a time when we can again gather together and enjoy the sport of sailing that we all love so much.

If you have any concerns or questions, please do not hesitate to contact the Sailing School Director or School Administrator by email or telephone.

Sincerely,

Robert Mackey
Sailing School Director
Collins Bay Yacht Club
