Learning to Sail Catamaran RYA 2 + Dog

[LeviathanNC]

Hi there,

My partner and I have a dream of living board our own Catamran in the hopes of living aboard full time in Jan 2023 on a Bali 4.2.

We are based out of Charlotte NC - and looking for a course for both of us - we are looking to do a 7-10 day liveaboard

The ISSUE is we have a professional trained dog that we would like to have accompany us. She is extremely obedient - pees/poo on command in a designated spot, knows 300+ words, understands french and english, and competes in obedience events.

I havent found anyone willing to take us on. Is this a lost cause? Or is my only option to get my own boat and have someone train us

Welcome to the forum. I have a Border Collie like that. Have you tried to charter a cat?

Yes - I have reached out to a number of people and I keep getting rejected.

It looks like my GF and I have to take the course separately if we are going to make this happen.
