Lower Mainland Yacht Cooperative - White Rock
The mission and purpose of the Lower Mainland Yacht co-op is to promote Affordable, Safe and Enjoyable recreational sailing.  As a co-op, it is possible to provide boats, equipment and training at a fraction of the cost of any other sailing program you can find.
