The HSC Coop

The Coop is a great way to get on the water without having to own, maintain or pay for storage of your own equipment. 

The Coop program promotes sailing, kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding by allowing members to use a variety of shared watercraft. The Sailboats include everything you need from spars, sails and foils to paddles, paddle blocks throw lines and pumps. The SUPs include paddles and the Kayaks include paddles, spray skirts and floatation blocks.

Members are responsible for providing their own PFD, wetsuit and whistle.

Please be reminded that wearing a PFD is absolutely manditory if you use Coop equipment. There is a bin of extra PFDs if you have forgotten yours.

To join the Coop, you need to be a member of HSC and have CanSail 2 qualification for sailing.

Coop Equipment is signed out using a QR Code on each vessel.

To skipper a sailboat, you will need to have completed CanSail 2. See the Adult Lessons section.

To use the Kayaks, you will need to have completed a “Wet Exit” course. Wet Exit courses will be offered in the Summer months, based on demand.

Think about it.
No ownership and instant access to the ocean.
