Canada reveals 2019-20 National Teams

Kingston, ONT (April 24, 2019) – Sail Canada has confirmed the members of the 2019-2020 Canadian Sailing Team and Canadian Sailing Development Squad.

Based on the current Sail Canada High-Performance Plan and the Podium Pathway, what has been previously known as the National Sailing Team or the Canadian Sailing Team, the program is now divided into two divisions: The Canadian Sailing Team (CST) and The Canadian Sailing Development Squad (CSDS).

This change is based on Sail Canada making a shift from the notion that receiving Sport Canada AAP funding (“carded”) automatically translate to Canadian Sailing Team or National Team status. Through this revision, Sail Canada hopes to better support athletes on both the CST and CSDS at their respective stages as they move through the Podium Pathway.
