This program provides newcomers with a taste of what cruising under sail is all about. It is an opportunity to experience first hand what sailing is about without committing to a full Learn to Cruise Program. The program can be shared as a couple, or a group. You and your friends or associates will spend the day cruising aboard a sailing yacht with the opportunity to experience many aspects of operating the vessel.
Your Sail Canada certified instructors are veteran sailors with extensive and varied experience. You will be able to draw on their knowledge and experience to gain insight into cruising, boat selection, boat operation, chartering, and provisioning. The educational components of the program will include basic terminology, the language of sailing, readying the vessel, and getting under way, basic sailing both as helmsman and crew.
The Basic Cruising Course is designed for the prospective cruising sailor who has minimal or no sailing knowledge or experience. The student is taught the necessary skills to safely sail local waters during daylight hours in moderate winds and sea conditions. The student will learn to perform the duties of both skipper and crew of a 25-29 foot sailing vessel.
The in-class comprises the students attending classroom lectures covering the ashore knowledge element of the program. This is accomplished over an eight-sessions.
