SAIL TRAINING OPERATORS

STOs operate Transport Canada registered Sail Training Vessels that are appropriately insured for sail trainees or passengers, and which have applied and been approved for membership of the association by the National Sail Training Association.

Operator vessels must comply with the relevant construction, maintenance, safety and crew training requirements of Transport Canada TP13313, relevant to the size and class of their particular vessel. Tall ShipsCAN recognizes that certain exemption certificates may apply.  They must also carry public liability insurance relative to the requirements of the Canadian government. No operator membership will be granted to any non-surveyed, non-commercial vessel.
