COMPETENT CREW AND DAY SKIPPER COURSE




My 15 year old son, just returned from his competent crew and day skipper course last week. He had an exceptional time! He totally lided his instructor, Brain, who had him docking in some seriouse winds!!!
Aidan was challenged and surprized with what the course covered (he has been sailing for many years already). Brian covered all the basics and then some. Aidan said they did a lot of docking, navigation, chart plotting, anchor setting and ofcoarse, sailing!
They had everything from 26 degree weather to gail force winds and rain!
He had a brilliant time and I recomend this to any teen that enjoys boating!!!
Aidan is working on his Coastal Navigation in preperation to his Coastal skipper course!
