Fast Track to Cruising Courses for Women Only
LADIES — BECOME A CONFIDENT BIG BOAT SAILOR!
If you’re looking for the top women’s sailing classes in Florida, look no further! Fast Track to Cruising® (OSS 101/103/104) sailing for women courses start with two days learning to sail a lively Colgate 26 keelboat (OSS 101) and then six days learning to cruise on a big monohull (OSS 103/104) or catamaran (OSS 103/104/114).
COUCH TO THE CAPTAIN’S CHAIR IN ONE WEEK!
You go from “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. Read a recent article on Offshore Sailing School’s Women’s Week courses from Spotlight News Magazine, with commentary from two Offshore Sailing School graduates of this course. Please note: instruction in a Women’s Week course may be provided by a female or male instructor. All students will be women-only.
EARN THREE CERTIFICATIONS — 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), if 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, along with a sailing resume for review. If approved, you may then enroll in 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.
