Hello CORA members,

The selection process for Team Canada for the 2023 World Distance Championships in Samoa has begun.

For the World Distance Championships each participating nation may enter one V6 (OC6) crew and one V1 athlete for each age class and gender. Official age categories are U-19, Open, Master 40, Master 50, Master 60 and Master 70. We are still waiting for confirmation from the IVF of the inclusion of Masters 75 and Masters 80 age divisions.

The initial selection process will take place October 15 and 16 at Jericho Sailing Centre in Vancouver.

October 15 will be an OC1/V1 time trial for all candidates and a meeting of all registered candidates.

October 16 will be OC6 evaluations for all candidates.

Candidates should be planning for morning and afternoon both days until further notice.

Deadline to register and pay your registration fee is October 1st, 2022.

All participants must have their current 2022 CORA membership fee paid by October 1st or your registration fee will be forfeited and you will not be allowed to participate in the selection.
