The first regatta of the CSCA racing season is only a few weeks away, and we are excited to share a few updates prior to the start of the season.
In preparation for the first regatta, please join as a full or crew member. CSCA membership is a requirement to attend regattas and race at many clubs. Several Shark fleets have already started racing and we encourage local fleets to promote skippers and crews to join as CSCA members.
To kick-off the season, we are excited to announce that Zhik Canada has offered a discount to CSCA members. The discount code can be found in the latest CSCA membership email. Equip your team for the season ahead!

CLASS NEWSLETTER
Many members have expressed interest in resurrecting the class newsletter “Shark Scan”. It was stopped because of the high cost of printing and mailing. With digital publishing and distribution making life easier, we are looking for an editor to publish Shark Scan. Please let us know if you are interested.
