Skipper course
Back to Sailing School
Sailing as a crew member is one thing. Sailing as a skipper is something completely different. And you will see the difference once you take the role of a skipper. The feeling of responsibility and a completely new respect for the sea and wind will never leave you, and yet this first time is still something special.
If you wish to prepare yourself for this hard and responsible role we recommend you our skipper course.
You can join if you have learned the basics of sailing, navigation, handling a spinnaker... If not, the instructor can ask you to go back to some of our less advanced courses. And it will not be to discourage you from becoming a skipper, but to give you the opportunity to fill in the "gaps" and then continue with new things.
You surely ask yourself what one can learn during a skipper course.
None of us sails so well that they could not sail better, therefore you will sail and perfect your technique passing miles and miles of the sea ... Tack, reef, tack, reef and back to the beginning ...
Lots of time will also be dedicated to practice approaching the shore using the engine or only sails, approaching the shore if the wind is strong, refloating the boat, than you will be thaught what to do to be prepared for the oncoming storm, how to sail during a storm ...
You will lean what one should check when renting a sailing boat, get "acquainted" with the wiring, engine, most frequent problems and how to address them, as well as with safety equipment and how to handle it.
Crew?
That's a different story: people who do not even know one another sail together and live together in a very small space. Some snore, some cannot sleep, others do not want to touch meat, there are those who do not eat leek and do not want to sleep with someone else in the same bed ...
Skipper is the one who has to keep everything under control. After this course the decision will be easier to make: do you really need all this or you prefer to remain "just" a crew member?
The decision is yours after all, but it would be a shame not to try!
