| What
level of experience is needed to participate in adventure
sailing? |
| |
If
your aim is to obtain the ASA certifications, you must
first complete the prerequisites. If your goal is not
to obtain the certifications but rather gain the experience,
you should have considerable prior sailing experience.
Give us a call and let us help you find an Adventure
Sailing Trip that meets your goals and sailing experience. |
| |
| What
is included in the price? |
| |
The
price includes the boat, the instructor, all tests and
the certifications. You’re responsible for airfare,
provisioning the boat (as a group), any outside costs
including hotels, restaurants, shopping, etc. |
| |
What
kind of cabin accommodations do the boats have?
Do I get my own cabin? |
|
| |
Generally
students share cabins. Couples get their own cabin and
singles share cabins. If shared by singles, the cabin
will have single berths. In some cases, students have
a whole cabin for themselves. |
| |
|
| How
many people do you take on these trips? |
| |
Not
more than six students, an instructor and sometimes
a first mate. |
| |
|
| Regarding
shipboard duties, what is expected of me? |
| |
Everyone
is expected to pitch in and work together to do the
things that are required on an ocean voyage. Typical
duties include standing watch, cooking, steering, navigating,
shipboard system maintenance, and housekeeping. No one
person will be solely responsible for one duty; rather
a rotation of duties will be practiced. |
| |
|
| What
should I bring with me? |
| |
Upon
registering, you will be sent a handout that tells you
everything you need to know about your trip including
what to bring and what not to bring. We call this our
“Adventure Sailing Packet.” Read over the
information carefully and send back the required forms. |
| |
| What
happens if I register, send a deposit and can’t
make it? |
| |
Our
cancellation policy will be stated verbally before we
take a deposit. It will also be stated in writing. It
is imperative that you “cover your bases”
as much as possible, so nothing unforeseen arises that
would keep you from taking your trip. |

"I
enjoyed the class and John was an excellent instructor.
He had an excellent way of providing the instruction
at the right times and backing off and letting us deal
with the situations, giving us a chance to work it out
ourselves. He also was very good at cutting through
the complexities and explaining what we needed to know."
