COMPETENT CREW SAIL
"There is no better tool or equipment you can have on board than a well-trained crew."
LARRY PARDEY - WRITER AND SAILOR
YOUR TRAINING PROCESS
1. THEORY DEVELOPMENT - 2. ON THE WATER TRAINING - 3. CERTIFICATION
The first step in getting you to your sailing goals is the Theory Development Phase. During this component you will complete the online training with either NauticEd or ISPA to prepare for your on-the-water training experience. During this phase you will also have access to exclusive Latitude Sailing training materials as well as video conferencing to assist you through the learning process.
Your on-the-water component will have two stages that will be integrated during your time on the water; a training segment and an evaluation component that will ultimately result in your certification.
During the training stage you will have the opportunity to apply the theory that you have learned and put it into practice. With the private/couple training format with Latitude Sailing, you will have maximum time to practice and develop your skills.
By the end of your on-the-water time, your ability to demonstrate competency will be evaluated and certification will be achieved when you can demonstrate competency of all the required skills.
