BARE BOAT SKIPPER

Bare Boat Skipper. ASA course 101 +103+104
The course is run over a 7 to 10 day period. 

The 7 day course is for students who have already completed there 'Yacht Crew' (ASA 101+103) certification.  In the 7 day course you will continue with the ASA 104 module which will involve 6 days instruction with a day off to relax. At the end of the course you will also be awarded your 'International Certificate of Proficiency'

The 10 day course is for students who have a basic knowledge of sailing and wish to obtain in a Bare boat Skipper Certificate. The course is an intense fast track style, teaching the ASA Modules 101+103+104. Once completed you will also be awarded your 'International Certificate of Proficiency'

We have found that those who have sailing experience, but have not done the 'Yacht Crew' course, have often missed being taught some of the basics. If this applies to you, we would suggest that you obtain and read the ASA Sailing Fundamentals by Gary Jobson   before coming on board.
