ECept Education > Online Course
Q. I am thinking of taking an offshore course. Any good ones out there? Or what would a good training passage be, crewing for someone else? Have you made any long passages?
A. Long passages are interesting but not much in learning experience. What do you learn going 1500 miles on one tack? YOu will learn what works for sea sickness, how to get allong with people, how to stay awake on watch, hopefully, how to keep a good lookout, and how big the ocean really is--all good reasons for going. Better still would be coastal cruising with anchoring most nights, at least one stretch of watchstanding keeping to a schedule. For courses--Offshor Sailing offers a 6 day Liveaboard class, OCSC in Berkeley offers a Coastal Cruising Course. Both require certification in Basic Keelboat--and you better know that material well. OCSC also requires Basic Cruising prior to their CN class. I would be leary of an ocean passage unless you know the skipper well beforehand, and the state of the vessel. bring your own safety gear and don't go if the boats doesn't have the required gear on board--SSB, VHF, EPIRB, liferaft, etc.
