Bergen SEAS offers a Keelboat Course to teach the basics of sailing larger boats. We use our 27 foot Catalina, called the "Zephyr".
Students get a 'refresher' course on sailing, and will learn the basics of motoring, leaving and returning to a slip or mooring, anchoring, charts and navigation, sailing by compass, safety, 'man overboard' rescue, reefing (the sails, not the boat) and sailing on all points of sail. This class is highly recommended, and is a prerequisite to obtaining a 'Skipper' designation. Graduates meeting all of the requirements are granted a 'Class C Skipper' designation, and are eligible to reserve and use the Zephyr. See the Club Boats section for reservation information. The cost for this course is $165. |
