We also offer two free sailing courses to every student.
FREE Sailing Courses
- Basic Sail Trim Course
- Navigation Rules Course
We also have bundled some courses together in a logical format depending on the goal of the student. Students do not need to progress through the Ranks. They can start at any Rank they like - thus there are no prerequisites. When the student takes those courses AND logs a certain amount of experience into their logbook, the student achieves Rank. Here are the courses associated to each Rank. Note however that Rank can not be achieved without logging true on the water experience.

- Introduction to Sailing: This is the best course to get started with if you have limited sailing knowledge. To gain this endorsement, the student would need to be signed off by an instructor as to their basic sailing skills after some training.
