The Competent Crew Practical     Course

Course costs $820

  This course  

 

is for students who have some sailing experience or have done a Introduction to Sail Course and are keen to get more involved with the sport, purchase their own yacht or become part of a social or racing crew. During the lessons we expand upon, revise and reinforce many of the skills from the Introduction to Sail Course as well as giving you a real variety of sailing experiences.
On the water you will learn even more nautical terms, how to avoid ferries (always a good start at Manly),weather forecasting, tacking and gybing, the right of way. Learn how to anchor safely, sail onto and off a mooring, operate a winch safely and how to deal with emergencies. Persons overboard drills (for the exercise we won't call for volunteers but use a lifebuoy). We also touch on navigation showing you how to read a chart and how to steer a basic compass course. Full detail on the aspects of sailing we will cover in the four lessons can be found here
