What's Next?
So after you complete a course we hope you continue to higher levels with us. Many students do return and we recommend that you practice the skills you have learned before your next course. Options include:
- Boat ownership. If you are ready to take the plunge I can help former students with general advice on suitable sailboats. I have a number of contacts who can help with opinions and I can provide links to various websites.
-
Crew on a Race boat-This is an excellent way to get more experience. Racers are generally looking for crew with some sailing experience and racing is an excellent way of improving your skills with an experienced skipper.
