Sail Canada Basic Cruising Course
OVERVIEW
This 5 day course leads to full Sail Canada Basic Certification. Even if you have never been on a boat before we will teach you how to handle a cruising boat safely under power and sail in moderate conditions. We teach this course primarily on owner's boats or charter boats through Canadian Yacht Charters. We may be able to make special arrangements to teach on our school boat but availability is limited.
OBJECTIVE
To be able to cruise safely in familiar waters as both skipper and crew of a sloop-rigged keelboat of 6 to 10 meters with an outboard or inboard motor in moderate wind and sea conditions by day. The focus of this standard is on the development of basic sailing and seamanship skills as well as the knowledge needed to make the decisions expected of a skipper.
