Crew member course - Power Boat

Every good sailor knows that a good voyage is measured not only by the skipper of the boat but also by the quality of the crew that sails with him.

To this end, we conduct the ISSA Crew member course at our school.

The crew member course –  suitable for ages 8 and up.

The purpose of the course is to expose its participants to the sailing vessel called a yacht. We will learn together how to use the various systems that exist in the boat, how to tie knots, hold a rudder, raise and lower an anchor and be a helping force for the skipper.

The length of the course is 2 days.

Minimum course participants: 4

*For a private course of up to 3 people, the cost is 2000€ plus an additional 160€ per person for the certificate.
