COURSE SUMMARY

Learn to Sail!

This is a beginner course to start your journey in sailing. No prior experience is required.

This is a 5 evening course, providing new sailors with introductory knowledge for crewing a sailing vessel up to 15 meters in inland or coastal waters <5 miles offshore during daylight hours in moderate wind and sea conditions.

This course is great for groups of friends or like-minded people to get together for a few evenings of fun sailing while learning skills to better help as crew onboard and is a good first step in becoming a skipper.

 

This is the recommended prerequisite for the International Crew course.
