3 - Day Coastal Cruising Class
Students will learn to responsibly skipper and crew an auxiliary powered
cruising sailboat during daylight hours within sight of land in moderate
wind and sea conditions.
Classes are taught aboard our Catalina 30' or
Irwin 34 sloops powered by an inboard auxiliary
diesel engine. You will build upon the skills gained in the smaller
keelboats as you become familiar with cruising boats which have more
comfortable accommodations and more complex systems. You will advance
your skill level in sail trim, reefing, crew coordination, boat systems,
chart reading, tides and currents, anchoring, rules of the road, docking,
coastal navigation and more.
Certification at this level will allow you to confidently
sail an auxiliary powered cruising sailboat up to 34' in length. You
could take friends or family daysailing or on weekend trips to explore
the coastline and its harbors on overnight adventures during daylight
hours in moderate wind and sea conditions.
