The largest one design keelboat fleet in Canada

Happy New Year to the Shark Fleet across Canada. Your CSCA Board is excited to announce a 10 regatta schedule for the 2024 season. A big thank you to all the host clubs for supporting the Canadian Shark Class allowing us to get the schedule launched so quickly.

2023 was a season of extremes with a no wind start and crazy winds to finish! Throughout the year, over 100 Sharks competed in the 2023 season. As a class, we continue to see new faces buying and restoring the Sharks that have been on the regatta circuit for many years. A true testament to the longevity of the Shark 24 sailboat.

2023 was also a record year for youth crews taking advantage of the CSCA free registration program. Five youth crews campaigned this summer and the class paid 8 regatta fees for these teams. Please promote this program to the youth in your local fleet. To qualify, the combined age cannot exceed 75 and no one person can be over 28 and the class will pay for two regattas for these teams.

Important notes for 2024:

  • Your 2024 membership fee is now due. If paid before Sunday May 19th, receive a 50% discount on your membership fee. After May 19th, full membership fee is $70. Crew membership is $5.  Please login to your account, pay your 2024 full or crew membership and update your personal profile to reflect any changes.
  • The 2024 virtual AGM is scheduled for March 17th at 10:30 am. We are encouraging local fleets to have their regional meetings after the AGM at their local club. A Zoom meeting request will be sent out in March. To attend the AGM, you must be paid full or crew member.
  • CSCA will continue to subsidize counter regattas this season. Regattas will receive $350 or up to $500 if they register with Sailors for the Sea and follow the Clean Regatta protocols.
  • Shark of the Year will be calculated based on your best 5 regattas and must include the Canadian, World, or Continental Championship.

To conclude, we look forward to seeing you at the AGM on Sunday March 17th and at a regatta this summer.
