Once you've graduated from Basic Sail, you might consider taking the Advanced Sail Course. While Basic Sail teaches you the basics, it gives you confidence to sail a 20, 22 or say a 25 foot vessel. It's the Advanced Sail Course that delves more deeply into charts and navigation, marklinspike seamanship, and handling a boat 30 foot and more.

The course sets sail the first week of each month, and custom fits to meet the participants. It's $295 per person, or $499 per pair.

There's loads of patient classroom, dockside, and on-water lesson ventures on our 30 foot Catalina. When you graduate, look forward to renting our Catalina 30, Pearson 26, or Catalina 25, Columbia 30 or Irwin 25.

Or, if you like, we'll introduce you to RCR and Navy Point, our yacht broker colleagues, who'll put you in to your "second home on the water" in a fabulous sailing yacht.
