The Big Blue  sailing school

In 2005 The Big Blue and Penguin Sail merged to form a new entity called The Big Blue Sailing School.Craig Rosevear is the School Director and Principal Instructor, having 30 years of sailing under his belt. He has sailed around the world twice, once with the Sultan of Malaysia. He also has 10 years of success in national dinghy racing. Craig Rosevear brings a wealth of sailing experience. He came to Australia in 1986 and ended up commerical fishing for four years in Western Australia.
Then his break came in 1995 when he was asked to sail around the world with The Sultan of Malaysia, for two years he did this and has some amazing stories to tell! He then gave up this amazing job to become a skipper of a delivery which would take him half way round the world again.
Just when you think that would be enough sailing Craig with his partner bought Midnight Blue a 44 ft catamaran and sailed another 30,000nm around the Pacific sailing as far as Tahitti and back to Australia. With a stop in New Zealand to view the two America Cup campaigns. He now finds him self settled in beautiful Manly Cove teaching sailing hoping that some one else will be get the chance to live that sailing dream!
