Cruising Classroom
"Sailing
Still" is a Catalina 36' sloop-rigged, fiberglass, diesel
auxilary sailboat that draws a 6' draft and a wide beam of 12'. The
boat is 36 feet LOA, 7-tons displacement and has 50 gallon fresh water
and fuel tanks. The Catalina 36 is a roomy crusing vessel with a
private cabin center forward, and skippers quarters aft, under the
cockpit. The wide beam and heavy keel make the boat stiff, and modern
reefing gear allow sail to be reduced easily. The advantage of
combining an easily driven hull with small reefed sails is that the
strain is taken off the lines when new sailors are aboard for learning
skills. This boat, when reefed down, still handles well, tacks easily
and is fun to sail without a great deal of heeling or hard
winching....however, if a show of speed under sail is desired...out
come the reefs and away we go!
The cockpit seats six comfortably and has a fixed
windscreen and bimini for those rainy days. The main cabin has the
galley and dinette to port. The galley has a 2 burner plus oven
propane stove, a large icebox,and numerous lockers and drawers
(there's also a propane BBQ on the stern rail). The main cabin has a
port and settees that converts to a private curtains double bed with
storage for personal effects on either side. Forward to port is the
head compartment with toilet, washbasin, and storage. On the starboard
side is a hanging locker where the life vests are kept. Forward of
this is the double vee berth with storage beneath.Skippers cabin is
aft,under the cockpit.
Sailing Still carries safety equipment that exceeds
the MOT requirement for a recreational vessel, personal flotation
vests which you agree to wear while under way and in the dinghy.
(Sailing Still)is a recreational boating school with Canadian Yachting
Association and instructors operating under the Transport Canada
Marine Safety Management System. As Sailing Still is not a passenger
vessel, you agree to assist with vessel operation, follow the
direction of the instructor and assist in the careful planning of each
day's sailing, taking account of tides and weather, to avoid any
hazardous conditions.
