A Weekend Warriors Sailing Series Event
IPC Prep with Bareboat Cruising Certification & Catamaran Endorsement
This very special three-day course is for experienced sailors who do not need to take a full certification course in order to start chartering overseas. The course is designed to help you get you the International Proficiency Certificate (IPC) for chartering monohulls or catamarans in Croatia and other overseas locations where the IPC is required.
Three Days of Sailing Aboard a Catamaran or Monohull
During a three-day period (Friday/Saturday/Sunday) at one of Offshore Sailing School’s SW Florida locations, you participate in this program while sailing a 40′-47′ monohull or catamaran, which you choose in advance. A senior Offshore Sailing School US Sailing certified instructor will evaluate your skills and provide the tests required to obtain US Sailing Bareboat Cruising Certification 104 and the US Sailing Catamaran Endorsement 114 if doing this course on a catamaran. All participants are required to provide proof US Sailing Basic Keelboat 101 and US Sailing Basic Cruising 103, or equivalent experience and certification if not earned at Offshore Sailing School. A sailing resume providing complete information about the boats you have sailed and your sailing experience is also required before confirmation in the
program is provided.
