Mentorship Program

Responding to the request of members, CBYC has established a Mentorship Program. The
Program focuses on assisting all CBYC members in improving their boating competencies by
sharing of knowledge and experience among club members. The goal is to improve
competence and foster confidence in the following areas:

  1. Basic boat maintenance e.g., fibreglass cleaning and waxing, bottom paint application,
    and routine engine maintenance (changes of oil, oil/fuel filters and water pump
    impellers), basic tuning of rigging etc.;
  2. Seamanship and Boat Handling e.g., sail trim, safe anchoring and docking techniques;
  3. Information and practices in support of local cruising e.g., geography / local
    knowledge, anchoring sites; and
  4. Racing e.g., interpretation of racing rules and techniques of racing.
  5. Marine electronics e.g., radio, radar, software etc.
    The program is oriented towards enabling the boat owner(s) being mentored to apply their
    knowledge (and that of the mentor) in performing specific tasks. While the mentor may
    demonstrate an action to facilitate knowledge, the mentor is not providing a service that
    should otherwise be provided by a contracted service provider. The boat owner is
    responsible for the completion of the task and may be assisted by the mentor if the mentor
    has agreed to this level of participation. For example, the mentor could describe or
    demonstrate how to remove an oil filter but will not be responsible for changing the oil.
    The mentoring is provided with the understanding that the boat owner retains responsibility
    for any actions which occur on his/her boat and any resultant liability.
    CBYC has initiated a list of members willing to assist others in these areas. A CBYC
    facilitator is responsible for receiving requests for assistance from members and finding, if
    possible, an appropriate match for the request. Specific requests for assistance outside of the
    areas noted will be handled on an ad-hoc basis, with the facilitator researching for those who
    may have the knowledge to assist in the request.
    The facilitator can be contacted at fleet@collinsbayyachtclub.ca. To assist in finding
    the right match for the need, members are asked to complete a Request Form.
