Course Summary:
Our one day 3 Star Assessment (Touring kayak and/or canoe) will be split between one of our local touring rivers and an open water venue.

As the ethos of the award is for a 3 star paddlers to journey safely under leadership in a moderate touring environment, we will carefully select a venue that will maximise your learning and where your skills will be tested.

We will cover areas such as trip planning, simple navigation, boat handling and rescue skills, what you should carry and how best to use what you carry and of course how to be an effective member of a team.

For full information on areas assessed visit the CANI website or the link below.

We strongly believe that such courses are about developing you as a paddler, therefore the programme will retain a level of flexibility in order to meet the needs and wants of those attending.

Who is the course for?
This 3 Star Assessment (Touring kayak and/or canoe) is aimed at paddlers who enjoy exploring our inland waterways and would like to benchmark their knowledge and skills against the governing body awards.

The 3 star is also a prerequisite for those wishing to attend 4 Star Leader Touring training.

“Successful performance at this level indicates that a candidate can consider themselves as an intermediate paddler rather than a beginner, the candidate having demonstrated personal competence as a member of a group paddling in a variety of venues. These include open water in conditions of winds up to Beaufort Force 3, and/or ungraded rivers that have a discernible green flow”. ( 3 star touring canoe syllabus)

Kayak touring paddlers may be interested in the CANI 3 Star Touring Kayak Award and canoe paddlers should also consider the CANI 3 Star Open Canoe Award.

Those open boaters that also go touring on Kayak/sit on tops may also be interested in the CANI 3 Star Touring Kayak Award.
