What to Expect
5 Day Course
This course includes: US Sailing Basic Cruising, Bareboat Cruising, and Windworks Navigation and Piloting, all on one of our larger cruising vessels. Have fun while learning in an actual hands on environment. At the end of this trip you will be a certified US Sailing Bare Boat skipper. The 5 day, 4 night, course will follow the same curriculum as separate courses in less time, as you will be learning day and night. During each day you'll practice sailing and navigating; at night you'll spend time in different harbors or at anchor; each class is your very own sailing adventure.
We will have a 3 hour classroom intro to Navigation and Piloting on the Thursday night prior from 6pm-9pm.

IT IS REQUIRED THAT STUDENTS STUDY THEIR US SAILING BASIC CRUISING AND BAREBOAT BOOKS PRIOR TO BOARDING THE BOAT. Feel free to take notes in your books for questions with your US Sailing Instructor.
