Sail Canada's recommended ratio is 1 coach boat with a CANSail Instructor for every 6 sailboats, and 1 CANSail Instructor for every 10 sailors.
The ratio is a recommendation only, because the type of boats, skill level of sailors, sailing area, additional support boats, location and weather conditions must be considered.
