Intermediate Sailing

Boats 31 through 34 feet

If you have already passed your basic exam, there is NO WRITTEN TEST for the Intermediate Course.
It is 100% hands-on, on the water practice in three lab sessions, each 3 hours long.
Successful completion of all three lab sessions qualifies you to charter boats through 34 ft.

Lab Topics:
Docking and Mooring
Practice docking larger boats, and learn to pick up a mooring Southern California style, the way you will at Catalina island.

Sail Shape and Trim
Get out of the breakwater and go sailing on an intermediate boat with your instructor and six or fewer students. You'll learn how to adjust the sails for different wind conditions and points of sail, so the boat will really get up and go.

Anchoring
Practice one of the most important skills a sailor can have. When you get to that quiet cove or special spot, where there is no marina or moorings, how do you park the boat? With good anchorage skills, you'll be secure in many great places most sailors can't go, and be ready to face all kinds of weather conditions, too.
