May 19, 2021 until May 20, 2021At Using Zoom Categories: Training CourseAre you using a VHF radio? Are you becoming a sailing instructor? Are you driving the club tender or working for the Coast Guard? Are you working or volunteering on races and regattas? Do you want to be able to make an emergency call or know how to use the DSC feature on your radio? Or just want to use a VHF Radio and don’t know what the red emergency button really is or how to make a bridge to bridge contact on Channel 70? Knowing how to use the radio properly might save your life or very much help with a rescue and everyone on board should know how to use it properly. If you answered yes to any of these then you really need to have your Restricted Operators Certificate. It is actually illegal to operate a VHF radio without certification and can result in a heavy fine. Once certified, you are certified for life! No need to renew.

May 23, 2021 until May 23, 2021At Royal Nova Scotia Yacht Squadron Categories: PHRF RacingThe goal of Girls Rule Racing is to get as many folks out on the water having fun as possible while lifting up and giving the female members of our sailing community a chance to shine. Bring new friends! Bring old friends! Learn skills! Teach skills! Event dates are May 23, June 20, July 18, August 22, and September 18. All 1pm starts. Each day will have one race that will be approximately 2 hours in length. Fleet splits will occur as necessary, and start lines will be set with the objective of reducing congestion and stress. Boats of all sizes and speeds are welcome and may choose to race with their spinnakers or declare white sail. The May 23rd race will have a Bermuda-style start. Starts for other weekends will likely be traditional 5-minute sequences. Each race will have individual registration - visit the RNSYS website in the coming weeks to sign up. We encourage boats to do their best to have at least half of their crew be female, but we won't be out there with binoculars. The only "musts" are that the helmsperson be female, have a female name on the registration list, and keep bums on the deck while hiking.
