3- Basic Keelboat*
For everyone with an interest in learning to sail catamarans and ultimately chartering a catamaran, it is recommended that the Fundamentals of sailing still be learned on a tiller driven basic keelboat 22-27'. This ensures that students gain an understanding of the principles of sailing, covering interaction of wind and sail, points of sail, tacking and jibing, knots and more. This course will reward each student with the objective and subjective know how to command a boat of up to 30'. The elements required for this course can be covered in two days of on the water training. The format consists of one hour of classroom, concentration on terminology, part of the boat, knots and theory, followed by 4 hours of on the water training each day. It is a day course with on shore accommodations. Upon completion of this course, students are ready to move on to the cruising catamaran and achieve their Bareboat Charter and Catamaran Cruising certifications. Children from age 12 are welcome and encouraged to participate in the Basic Keelboat course.

4- Coastal Passage Making
This course is truly an adventure as students set out for St. Martin which lies ninety miles to windward. Out of sight of land for most of the trip, navigation is not just an asset, it is essential. The Anegada Passage is busy with commercial shipping, therefore, students will get a first hand look at lights at night. As this is open water sailing, watch systems are set up, logs are kept, safety harnesses are worn, steps are taken as if this were a long distance boat delivery. Other skills mastered include Med mooring, night anchoring and mobs, star navigation and more. The itinerary for this course is to St. Martin & St. Barths. For those with a preference for staying within BVI waters this course can be offered within the BVI as well.
Tuition: $325pp for 1-2 people + instructor's fee, meals, gratuity, all expenses (customs incl. drop off fees if guests disembark in St Martin).

Yngling (Keelboat) $54.86 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles A Yngling is a sailing boat which the International Yngling Association call an agreeable cross between a planing dinghy and a keelboat. It can be regarded as a smaller version of the 26foot (7.9 m) Soling although there are differences in proportion, and tuning requirements, between the two classes. It has a LOA of 6.35 metres (21 ft) and weighs 645 kilograms (1,420 lb). It was designed in 1967 by Jan Herman Linge; received ISAF International Class status in 1979 and was chosen as the Olympic Womens Keelboat for 2004 and 2008. In the London 2012 games the Yngling is to be replaced by the Elliott 6m (with Womens Match Racing taking the place of Womens Fleet Racing). The Yngling is designed to sail with two or three crew, with a combined weight of up to 225 kg (500 lb). Class rules require Ynglings with a full crew to have enough flotation to allow them to float even if filled with water. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Timpledon, Miriam T./ Marseken, Susan F. Binding Type: Paperback Number of Pages: 68 Publication Date: 2010/07/01 Language: English Dimensions: 5.98 x 9.01 x 0.16 inches |
