This course is the "learner?s permit" you need to complete to safely charter or own a large cruising vessel. You'll spend 2 1/2 days aboard a fully equipped 30? to 40' yacht, with ample time for exploring and relaxation. Day one starts with a short session on how to prepare for a weekend cruise. Later in the afternoon, you will practice docking and navigating in a crowded harbor situation. You will spend the night on board and leave early on day 2 for one of eastern Long Island's historic seaports. Along the way your NYSS expert instructor will guide you through sail changes that need to be made, channels to be navigated, logs to be kept and preparation for the unexpected. This course shows you the "how-to-do" on a large cruising vessel. The ASA's "Cruising Fundamentals" is mailed in advance for you to study.

You will receive ASA - Bareboat Chartering Standard (104) certificate.
