This course introduces you to the world of sailing aboard our Wauquiez Hood 38✱. Successful candidates will master the fundamentals of safe, confident daysailing on a 38 foot keelboat in light to moderate winds.
This is a 16-hour course (split over 2 days) focused on molding you into a skilled, confident and competent skipper of large sailboats. With your Instructor, Captain Josh, you will review what you’ve learned about advanced sailing topics and skills covered in NauticEd’s “Skipper” course and “Maneuvering Under Power” course. Following review, you’ll get out onto the water and practice what you’ve learned, preparing you to become a competent large keelboat sailor – with added emphasis on large sailboat systems, docking, and maneuvering under power.
As you’ve completed the online curriculum prior to joining Captain Josh on the water, the end of the class will include an assessment of your newfound skills. If you qualify, you’ll receive the “Verified Competency” endorsement to go with your NauticEd Skipper Large Keelboat Rank Certificate!
This course is run out of San Carlos, Sonora, Mexico. Experience spectacular desert mountain views and bright, clear waters in the aptly nicknamed “World’s Aquarium”.
