The Royal Canadian Yacht Club is saying #ComeOnIn! The sailing club, through Sail Canada, is partnered with StayBillety to assist sailors and fans with housing for the 2018 Sail Canada Youth Sailing Championships which is taking place from August 24th-31st, in Toronto.
The downtown Toronto sailing and sports community is asked to share extra space through the online accommodation service, and welcome regatta participants and officials.
Felicity Rodness, 2018 Sail Canada Youth Championships Regatta Chair, says “StayBillety gives sailors and their families another housing option for our regatta. It's a unique way to connect our local community with our participants. StayBillety Hosts will help us welcome visitors to Toronto in 2018."
“Accommodation costs in downtown Toronto are a major barrier to participation in events. StayBillety helps competitors and their families ease the expense of traveling for this Sail Canada national championship,” says StayBillety Founder/CEO Barbara Jones.
StayBillety is available throughout North America. The Canadian start-up is the Official Online Accommodation Service of Sail Canada. Additional StayBillety partners include Ryerson University, Surf Canada, Canoe Kayak Canada, Canada Snowboard, Slo-Pitch National and other groups and organizations, colleges and universities.

The 10th edition of the Monaco Energy Boat Challenge (MEBC) has wrapped up at the Yacht Club de Monaco (YCM) and it gives a compelling look at the future of electric boating.
The MEBC was started in 2014 as a competition between university teams who built and raced boats powered only by solar power and batteries. To encourage more participation from institutions that may not have naval architecture or boat construction expertise, the YCM introduced the Energy Class competition. The club supplies the student teams with the same one-design catamaran hull, and each team adds their own cockpit and propulsion system that can be powered by any renewable alternative energy sources, not just solar.
