This course is run over 5 weekday evenings or 2 days on the weekend, 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.
