Sailing Adventure
Flotilla sailing allows you to sail on big boats
either as a skipper or as individual crew.
Most skippers are recent graduates who like the idea of having an
experienced sailing instructor on a nearby boat. Often a quick
review of anchoring or reefing techniques, the navigation for the
day and boat systems is most of our involvement. Chartering a
flotilla boat as skipper with your own crew is less expensive
than chartering independent of the flotilla because of our
special arrangements with the charter company.
So what can you do if you can't put your own crew together, or
are not at the experience level to charter by yourself? We offer
places on our lead flotilla boat, skippered by one of our experienced
instructors. This year it will be Captain
Thom Burns and Captain Steve Burns. There is no formal training
going on, but lead boat crew will get many opportunities to hone
their skills. The flotilla is designed for fun, experience and
sailing without any formal training expectations on either the
instructor/skipper or you as a flotilla crew. We invite you to
join us during our Flotilla Week.
