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.
