Whitecap: The Canadian Sailing Podcast

In partnership with Sail Canada, David Cripton hosts a podcast series focusing on Canadian sailing called Whitecap, with this episode featuring Anthony Rosborough, founder of the Broader Reach Program.

As the 2022 Whitecap Cup co-winner for equity inclusion and diversity, this learn to sail program is based out of the Armdale Yacht Club in Halifax, NS. Their goal is to expand access to sailing to the broader community in the Halifax Regional Municipality and other communities in Nova Scotia.

The program creates impact by teaching sailing knowledge and skills to wider audiences while building connections between people and communities based on shared experiences. It unites people by a love of being on the water, and is supported by the Canadian Parks and Recreation Association and the Government of Canada.

The informative discussion event wandered toward shipbuilding in Halifax in the early 20th century and highlighted the biggest one design keelboat class in Nova Scotia: the Bluenose One design
