Description

Learn how to sail a sloop-rigged, auxiliary powered 30'-45' sailboat during a multi-day cruise upon inland/coastal waters in moderate/heavy winds and sea conditions. Learn about provisioning, boat systems, auxiliary engines, advanced sail trim, coastal navigation, anchoring/mooring, docking, emergency operations, weather, and more.

This is a 3 Day/2-night sailing training course conducted aboard an Jeanneau 389. The primary emphasis in the training will be the hands-on skills needed to SAFELY and competently operate a sailing vessel of this size under sail and power. Sailing knowledge topics will be covered by pre-course reading assignments and during the classroom presentations and discussion during the course.  

Certification at the ASA 104 Bareboat Charter level requires achieving the SAILING SKILLS standards outlined in the ASA International logbook.

We will be spending one night at port and one night under anchor and we will provide 4 meals for this course.  

Pre-Course Preparation 
So that you can achieve maximum benefit from both the classroom and hands-on training aboard the boat during the course, students are encouraged to read all the text materials provided before coming to the course. This will allow more time during the course to practice essential hands-on skills and for discussion and clarification of selected knowledge topics.
