LADIES — ENROLL IN “WOMEN’S WEEK” CRUISING COURSES TO BECOME A CONFIDENT BIG BOAT SAILOR!

We offer the same amenties above when you enroll in our Fast Track to Cruising® (OSS 101/103/104) sailing classes for women. Offered on select dates, you’ll start with two days learning to sail a lively Colgate 26 keelboat (OSS 101), then spend six days learning to cruise on a big monohull (OSS 103/104) or catamaran (OSS 103/104/114). You go from your “couch to the captain’s chair” in just one week, in Offshore Sailing School’s most popular and comprehensive experiential sailing vacation – the Fast Track to Cruising® course. Even if you have some experience on small boats, or have taken a basic sailing course at a community sailing school or another commercial sailing school, this Fast Track sailing course is the best way to get your skills and knowledge up to speed. Come alone or bring your mom, sister or a friend for our ladies only sailing courses. Either way you’ll have a blast and enjoy the camaraderie that comes with women learning together. Watch a video recap of four girlfriends enjoying their Fast Track to Live Aboard Cruising course from Scrub Island Resort, Spa & Marina here. They were such competent and confident skippers by the end of the course, they immediately embarked on a bareboat charter from The Moorings, bringing family and friends along. What fantastic memories they made during our sailing lessons for women. Well done Captains!

EARN THREE CERTIFICATIONS IN ONE WEEK IN OSS 101/103/104

If you have keelboat sailing experience and can confidently steer and crew in all positions on a mid-sized sailboat of at least 26 feet, you may take the Live Aboard Cruising course (OSS 103/104) without the two-day Learn to Sail portion (OSS 101). However, that assumes you already have US Sailing Basic Keelboat Certification. If you do not have US Sailing Basic Keelboat Certification you will need to take and pass the Online Learn to Sail Course produced by Offshore Sailing School and Boat US and submit your certificate of completion and a resume for review. If approved, you may then sign up for just the Live Aboard Cruising Course, and take the US Sailing Basic Keelboat test (additional fee of $75) which is a prerequisite before you can take the US Sailing Basic Cruising and Bareboat Cruising tests administered during the Live Aboard Cruising Course.
