Basic Crew (Competent Crew)


Objective

"To be able to act as competent crew while cruising safely in familiar waters aboard a sloop rigged keelboat of 6-10 metres in moderate wind and sea conditions by day."

 

Course Content Synopsis

  • As in the Basic Cruising course, but with the emphasis on being a crew member rather than taking command.
  • This standard suits those who want to learn the basics but don't yet wish to act as skipper. It can also be used to attain the first half of the Basic Cruising standard for those who wish to split their training over two weekends.
