Two Level Bareboat Charter Certification

This is the second part of a two-part certification program. This is a three-day live-aboard course normally held on a 36' cruising auxiliary sailboat on Lake Superior. Typically, we anchor out on Saturday night. Students learn to maneuver the boat under power, dock, anchor, and navigate in differing weather conditions. Successful candidates will receive bareboat charter certification upon completion. Instructor is ASA certified as well as a U.S. Coast Guard licensed captain.  This course will be offered as a stand alone course starting in 2011.

Course Outline:

Day 1: Safety Orientation, Boat Systems, Docking & Getting Underway, Setting Sails, Reefing, Heaving To, Crew Overboard Drill, Anchoring.(Some drills are typically moved to Day 2 based on weather and time constraints.)

Day 2: Complete and Review Day One Activities, Navigation, Emergency Procedures, Cruising Tips.

Day 3: Review Days One and Two, Work on Weak Points, Written Exam.

Students should bring clothing for all weather conditions, sleeping bag, towel, and navigation instruments if you have them. Meals from Saturday breakfast to Sunday lunch are provided onboard.
