INTRODUCTION
The following Standard has been developed to address
safety issues pertaining to Canadian mono-hulled sailing vessels engaged in sail
training activities at sea. The application of provisions herein is not intended
for sailing schools providing instruction in sailing and seamanship to
yachtsmen.
Current standards and regulations for conventional ships are not relevant to
all areas of the design, construction and operational safety of sail training
ships. It was thus deemed necessary to create a standard which would address the
particularities of this type of vessel.
The Standard incorporates extensive work and
research carried out by numerous administrations including the Marine
Directorate of the Department of Transport in the U.K. The feedback obtained
from stakeholders throughout the development of this Standard has also
contributed significantly to its content.
