Canada Ocean Racing Launches
Pathway Program Fostering New Talent
in Offshore Sailing
August 13th, 2024 – Canada Ocean Racing – Be Water Positive Sailing Team today announced the launch of the Canada Ocean Racing Pathway Program, a groundbreaking initiative aimed at promoting offshore sailing and nurturing new talent within the Canadian sailing community. The inaugural event will take place from September 27th to 29th, 2024, in Collingwood, Ontario with more events planned in the future.
The Canada Ocean Racing Pathway Program is an extension of the Be Water Positive Sailing Team IMOCA campaign skippered by Canadian sailor Scott Shawyer. The program offers participants who are Canadian residents, aged between 18 – 25, an opportunity to engage with seasoned professionals, gain hands-on sailing experience, and explore potential career pathways in offshore racing. The program promises to be a transformative experience for aspiring members of the Canadian sailing community.
Please note that you do not need to be entirely focused on sailing to apply. If you are looking for a shore-based career in the sailing industry then this program is also for you.
