Being new to the sailing fraternity I am currently doing a day skipper course in Durban SA to give me some theory on sailing. We intend to sail from Nassau to Antigua but would need a skipper with experience. Being on a tight budget how easy is it to find someone willing to help us? Any suggestions support or advise on route or passage would be greatly appreciated ]]> Rodge_trio http://www.cruisersforum.com/forums/f112/how-easy-is-it-to-find-a-skipper-32736.html http://www.cruisersforum.com/forums/f112/j-school-for-racing-worth-it-or-waste-of-money-32316.html Sat, 24 Oct 2009 15:34:55 GMT Greetings all, I am currently getting back into sailing and have raced in block island this year, as well as local wednessday night races with the... Greetings all, I am currently getting back into sailing and have raced in block island this year, as well as local wednessday night races with the local yacht club.
I am going to Key West for race week this January and found out about "J School" which happens to run the week before. Its $995.00 for a 5 day racing school. Apparently its a soup to nuts course for everything racing including emergency situations.
IS IT WORTH THE COST TO TAKE THIS COURSE FOR EXPERIENCE AND TO BUILD A RESUME, AND MORE IMPORTANTLY WILL SKIPPERS LOOK AT THIS COURSE AS AND WANT ME ON THEIR BOAT BECAUSE OF IT????
:viking:
P.S. How can I contact the crew I raced with on Block Island they will definitely be in Key West and I would like to try and get a ride with them again. ]]> BIG JOE http://www.cruisersforum.com/forums/f112/j-school-for-racing-worth-it-or-waste-of-money-32316.html
