1. Description
Applicants must have demonstrated the potential to excel at the world class level in Olympic or Pan-Am classes of yachts or other complementary classes having established world events.

Secondarily, and subject to the availability of sufficient funds, consideration will be given to young sailors who have demonstrated both potential and commitment to ultimately compete at the world class level in these classes.

The assistance in the purchase of equipment such as boats or sails shall only be given in exceptional circumstances.

Consideration for assistance may include items such as entry fees, travel and transportation, per diem meal allowance, per diem accommodation allowance. (Monetary Guidelines as per CYA)

2. Conditions
Applicants must satisfy the following conditions:

• Be members of good standing of Port Credit Yacht Club.
• Be a regular competitor in the class to be sailed at the regatta for which assistance is sought.
• Where the class has a racing team of more than two, be the owner/skipper of the yacht.
• Produce a written long-range program showing evidence of serious endeavor to excel in the sport of yacht racing.
• Provide written brief details, (including a budget, source of funds and any qualifying requirements) of the regattas to be entered in the year for which fund assistance is sought.
• Convince the Committee that the applicant will be a credit to the Club on and off the water.

3. General Guidelines
For the guidance of the Committee and the Executive, but not so as to fetter their discretion, the following principles should assist in the administration of the Fund:

• Assistance may be given to any young member of P.C.Y.C. who, in the opinion of the Committee, shows promise of becoming a top-ranking competitor in yachting events and who has shown an interest in improving skills as a competitor in these events. If assistance has started before the age of 25 years, it may be continued afterwards if such assistance is leading towards a defined goal.
• Preference should be given to assisting young members who have progressed through the P.C.Y.C. Junior Sail Program and are continuing to compete, and show serious commitment to their yachting activities.
• Consideration may be given to the financial need of applicants and the extent to which they have been or may be assisted by other persons or organizations, either business or the Canadian Yachting Association.

4. Contribution to PCYC
Any member receiving Fund assistance may be required to list all the events in which they have participated, together with full results. Further the member will be expected to supply written reports of events attended and progress made, and be prepared to give lectures or otherwise contribute to Club activities, such as Credit Notes, when requested.
