A program which provides a good knowledge of the ship, general seamanship, and navigational skills. Midshipmen are placed on several of the schooners which we represent.
Geographic locations vary as well as the ship size.
Each placement is tailored to the specific requirements and to availability. There are no classes, one learns by doing and observing fellow crew members. More important, it helps to discover their capability, improve self confidence and develop a sense of responsibility. Enrollment is limited to a maximum of two participants. There are no specific requirements for admission other than reasonably good health and willingness to learn, no prior sailing experience is necessary.
