US Sailing Basic Cruising Course and Certification - 3 days
 Non-members: $625 / Members: $525

* A prerequisite is a Basic Keelboat Certification.
This course will cover all concepts of sailing as well as basic boat systems, maneuvering under power, weather awareness, safety aspects and preparation, chart reading, navigation, and more. Most of the course will be on the boat with the third day reserved for a practical skills test and a written test.


US Sailing Bareboat Cruising Course and Certification - 4 days
