| Q.
I already have a sailing level achieved through CYA, can I still join? A. Of course! With the new CBET program in place, anyone can join weather you have a level or not. If you do have a level, you may receive the appropriate checklist for the next level past your latest certification and start from there. (ensure you bring your certificate.) If you don't have CYA certificates, the instructor can evaluate what level the student should be in, on the first day. Q. How does the new program change the lessons? A. The new CBET curriculum takes effect immediately. More information can be obtained here. Q. What is the difference between the two adult programs? A. The Adult "Learn-to-Sail crash course" runs for four consecutive days for the month of JUNE only. The second course type is the "Summer Learn-to-Sail" course which operates during July and August. Q. When do lessons start? A. Starts June 10, 2006. The last day of the last session is August 9, 2006 Q. What do I bring to the camp each day? A.

| Q.
Where can I mail a cheque? A. NOSA POBOX 4, Vernon, BC V1T 6M1 NOSA has a post office box located in the main Vernon post office.

Q. How else can I sign up? A. 4 ways: 1. In person at Briteland Farm and Garden (located at 3208 28th Street, Vernon) 2. in person at NOSA located at paddlewheel park, Vernon (please call to arrange signup and to make sure we are available - no set working hours at NOSA.) 3. on the WEBSITE. This is the best method. Click here to download signup forms. 4. my mail: Print a registration form out from here and mail it, with a cheque, to the above address. Q. What happens if I have to miss a day? A. With the new CBET program in place, each student progresses at their own pace with their own skill set checklist. However, the student may miss valuable general knowledge lectured to all sailors. It generally is not critical. Q. Can disabled Students still Participate? A. Certainly! Although we do not have wheelchair access to the grounds or boats that can accommodate wheelchairs or quadriplegics, we will make an effort to ensure everyone gets equal instruction and experience. Each instructor is required to be in their motor boat for safety reasons, so the disabled student will not be able to sail with the instructor. If this is desired, please contact us for private lessons. You may want to consider a disabled sailing program such as those in Kelowna or Victoria (offered through C.O.S.A. or DSA.) Q. How do I get to NOSA? A. There is a map and directions page linked on the main page. Click here for the directions page. Q. Are you talking about the Vernon Yacht Club? A. No. Vernon Yacht Club and NOSA are different organizations. NOSA is located closer to town, on the North-East side of PaddleWheel park. VYC is located on the southwest side. You can access us through the Paddlewheel park parking lot. Q. Do you rent out the sailboats? A. No. In order to use the boats, you must become a member of this club. In order to use the boat share program, you must show a competency for maneuvering a sailboat prior to using the boats. Once membership has been obtained, you must schedule 5 minutes with the instructor to view your skills. Membership information can be obtained on the membership page. |
