Training

Have performed power boat and sailing training over the years. Have been an ASA instructor, US Sailing instructor, and currently a full fledged sailing instructor with nauticed.org.

I have written many letters of proficiency for owners that they provide to their insurance company. Some times instruction can just be an hour or two, or a weekend cruising to some destination.

Concepts in training can fall into these categories:

  • Close quarter maneuverying
  • use of spring lines and fenders
  • navigation
  • fuel ups and pump outs
  • anchoring
  • deploying, retrieving, and operating dinghy
  • machinery space
