Sailing Courses for Students
For students Keelboat and Yacht Courses are recommended. The Keelboats enable students who can sail a Dinghy to take the first steps to handling a larger Keelboat. These boats take 5-6 crew so the students have to inter relate and communicate as a team to sail the vessels well.
The following ISSA accredited courses are recommended for students from 15-18 years :
We suggest that teachers review any certificate that they may want information on. We are happy to give any further information about the courses and certification.
