This advanced course certifies that the candidate is able to safely act as skipper and crew of a sailing vessel 30 to 50 feet in length sailing coastwise day or night in any conditions. Put to use the skills developed in previous classes.
Emphasis is on seamanship and navigation.
You'll sail overnight in the Atlantic while standing watch, navigating and being responsible for various aspects of the operation of our training vessel. To be successful in earning this certification requires serious advance study and mastery of the skills covered in prerequisite courses. This three-day course includes two nights aboard. Due to the broad nature of the information required for preparation, no textbook is included in the tuition price. A resume of accumulated sailing experience is required for acceptance.
