Volunteering

At Peterborough Sailing Club, we appreciate and rely on every member’s active participation in the club’s activities. This involves various tasks such as keeping the property clean, maintaining club boats, helping with events, and assisting with duties like launching or removing docks during the season.

We recognize that not everyone can commit to volunteering for the mandatory 10 hours. If that’s the case, members can choose to opt-out of volunteering by paying a fee.

Members use of Boats

Members enjoy the exclusive benefit of utilizing club sailboats throughout the season. While anyone is welcome to crew in a club sailboat, only members who have proven their competency may helm. This can be achieved in one of the following ways:

Hold a minimum CANSail 2 certificate, or equivalent. (a copy must be provided to the club)
Complete the lessons offered by the club and obtain a CANSail 2 certificate.
