Gone With The Wynns had to do the same thing when they purchased their
Leopard 43 in S. Fla about 5 years ago. They are YouTubers and filmed the process. They had no sailing
experience at all so the process of taking the
classes and passing the
ASA tests took around 5 days. Their captain stayed with them on the boat during that time and signed them off and they were good to go. Maybe that captain is still providing that
service. Anyway those vids are informative.
They must have learned something because they are in
New Zealand now.
Good Luck!
