Who should take the Cruising Essentials course?
You may be preparing to (1) start coastal cruising, especially if the male wants to go and the female is fearful (2) rent a bare boat where you plan to travel to destinations that are beyond visable locations, ( 3) live-aboard or (4) you may need a stepping stone to blue-water cruising. Sure, you could train yourself but our course is designed to help you reduce your learning curve down from years to months. And we teach couples to work together. We’ll also discuss the right and wrong types of boats to help you avoid buying the wrong boat for the waters you intend to sail. Our training will prepare you for daytime cruising between anchorages with some overnight passages. From there, you may plan longer and longer cruises in preparation for an ocean voyage.
