COURSE 101 & 103 ONE WEEK SAILING CRUISE INSTRUCTION Basic Keelboat & Coastal Cruising (Courses 101 & & 103) The program is 6 days - 7 nights live aboard cruise, on one of our 30-50 feet yachts. Basic Keelboat (101) Prerequisites: None General Description: Able to sail a boat of about 20 feet in length in light to moderate winds and sea conditions in familiar waters without supervision. A preparatory Standard with no auxiliary power or navigation skills required. Basic Coastal Cruising (103) Prerequisites: Basic Keelboat Sailing Certificate General Description: Able to cruise safely in local and regional waters as both skipper and crew on an auxiliary powered sailboat of about 20 to 30 feet in length, in moderate winds and sea conditions. Price per person sharing a double cabin: Euro 1300. Single cabin surcharge: Euro 650. A minimum of 2 students are required. For groups of 4 persons 15% discount is applied on the above price.

Terminology and Theory of Sailing (including true and apparent wind, principals of lift and drag, aero foils and hydrofoils, center of effort and center of lateral resistance, center of gravity and center of buoyancy - stability). 2. Collision Regulations (as stated in ’72 international convention in London and Inland Rules including sailing in restricted visibility, sound signals, day shapes, US ATONS, etc.) 3. Navigation Part I (basic principles of mercatoric and gnomonic projection charts, latitude and longitude, plotting a course, rhumb lines, variation and deviation) 4. Navigation Part II (chart symbols, lines of position, dead reckoning position and three point fix, running fix, list of lights and other publications e.g. pilots and notices to mariners) 5. Safety and Seamanship (safety equipment, PFD’s, basic fire fighting, de-hydration, motion sickness and hypothermia treatment, etc.) 6. Meteorology 7. Overall review 8. Tests. Practical Skills: 1. Orientation on the boat, use of boat’s hardware, knots 2. Safety, hoisting the sails and handling the boat 3. Points of sail including basic sail trimming, tacking, jibing and reefing 4. Points of sail, Figure 8 MOB recovery method 5. Sailing a compass course, anchoring 6. Boat handling in close quarters 7. Evaluation Note: Basic Keelboat Sailing (101) does not require any navigational standards and Basic Coastal Cruising (103) covers only basic navigational skills, however our school has decided to provide students with more navigational information than required as we consider them essential safety skills.
