This is a "must have" book for anyone with even the slightest interest in the area in which we sail and enjoy our recreational activities.   

Organized in four sections, The Scarborough Shore, The Beach, The Island and The Lakeshore, the book covers both geologic and human history of these four areas.  It is superbly researched and well written.  Bound in large soft cover, the book is a bargain price wise. 

I strongly recommend to all our members - don't miss this one.

The ABYC Keelboat Course is a beginner level, internationally recognized Sail Canada program offered in conjunction with Humber College.  Classes; which are scheduled at various times during the week and on weekends, provide both off- and on-water instruction and are designed to give students the necessary skills to act as both skipper and crew on a sailboat of up to 35 feet in length, in moderate weather conditions.  The course is taught on a 31 ft. keelboat (Hunter) and is ideal for new sailors.

The fee includes a one-year Introductory Associate Membership at ABYC with all privileges.

For more information, class schedules and the registration form see http://abyc.on.ca/abyc-sailing-school/sailing-school-keelboat-program/ 

The Learn to Sail Open House is scheduled for Tuesday, May 5, so pass that on. 

Classes, especially those early in the season, fill fast.  So tell your friends to register now to avoid being disappointed.

And once your friends graduate, they are eligible for the introductory Co-Op program, a great way to keep sailing an ABYC boat for the whole summer.
