COOPER BOATING news ~ latest information about boating in BC
Looking back on the 2010 charter and boating school season, it is clear we had a lot more sightings of whales and other marine mammals such as the infamous DAHL PORPOISES.

Not commonly seen in this area is the humpback whale, but Jeff managed to capture a shot of this one on October 17, 2010:

If you manage to see some interesting marine mammal while out there, make sure to report it here.
We've been seeing guys like this for all the years we've been offering boating holidays - clearly there are more around now than there were a decade ago. Internet bonus - if you know what this whale is doing, contact our office for a special gift (just in time for the holiday season). Hint: We had a boat in the fleet with this name!!

To compliment the friendly instructors we have around here, we've re-organized the courses into a modular format to allow people with busy lives to get this great pastime into their lives and ensure the sailing classes meet student objectives. Surrounding the basic level for new sailors is three core modules - CREW, BAY SKIPPER and CRUISING NUTS & BOLTS. If you would like the well rounded, cover all the bases approach, take all three modules. If you are looking to sail smaller keelboats (perhaps with our sailing club - the JIB SET - you can take the CREW module and start crewing on the 24 footers - putting your new skills into practice and having a lot of fun with the great group of people in our club.
Progress to the BAY SKIPPER level when you are keen to take things up a level and be comfortable in command of these great pocket cruisers -
Looking to crew on larger boats, take the CREW module followed by the CRUISING NUTS & BOLTS weekend.
Skippering these boats is best done with the BAY SKIPPER module in English Bay before the CRUISING NUTS & BOLTS weekend to Gibson's on the Sunshine Coast.
None of these modules is over one week in duration and can fit into a busy work schedule. Need any help - our office is open daily and ready to assist.
