Ocean Sailing Course - SOLD OUT

An Ocean Sailing Course is a program designed to teach sailors how to safely and confidently sail long distances across the open ocean. 

This type of course is typically aimed at experienced sailors who have already completed a basic or intermediate sailing course, and who want to gain the skills and knowledge necessary to tackle longer, more challenging offshore passages.

The curriculum of an Ocean Sailing Course can vary depending on the specific program and the experience of the participants. Ocean Sailing Course include navigation, seamanship, safety procedures, emergency procedures, weather forecasting, and passage planning.

Participants in an Ocean Sailing Course will typically spend several days on board a yacht, learning how to navigate using a range of methods such as GPS, celestial navigation, and dead reckoning. They will also learn about different types of sails, sail handling techniques, and how to cope with different weather conditions.

Safety is a key concern in an Ocean Sailing Course, and participants will be taught how to operate safety equipment, such as life rafts and EPIRBs, as well as how to deal with emergencies such as man overboard situations or a loss of power.

Successful completion of an Ocean Sailing Course can lead to a range of opportunities, including participation in offshore racing, long-distance cruising, and even circumnavigation of the globe. It is an exciting and challenging experience that requires discipline, teamwork, and dedication, and can be highly rewarding for those who are passionate about sailing and exploring the open ocean.
