Level 2 – Yacht

 

The next step up after getting to grips with the basics at Level 1. This highly informative and practical course is conducted on our fleet of Squib Sportsyachts, where the trainee to instructor ratio of 3:1 ensures plenty of attention to each participant. This course develops your confidence and competence afloat as you make your way up the sailing ladder!

 

Syllabus
Level 2 concentrates on consolidating what you learned on the Level 1 Programme, in addition to introducing the following maneouvres and skills:

• Reefing – making your sail area smaller to cope with weather conditions.
• Learning how to pick up a mooring.
• Learning how to come alongside a moored boat / pontoon.
• Recovering a person fallen overboard.
• Introduction to Racing!

 

Successful participants will receive the Keelboat Level 2 certificate.

 

The Boat
A good deal smaller than the Sportsyacht, the Squib sees the participant learn how to get to grips with small yacht sailing in coastal waters.
