Get a taste of the adventure and romance of the sailing life. Paul and Sheryl have been living aboard and exploring the world for the last 18 years and invite you aboard their new Southerly 42 cruising boat. Now there is a chance to experience the cruising life for yourself (and your mate) in the company of competent professional sailors. If your mate is a bit anxious, this is a a safe and comfortable way to get an introduction. On some of the legs we do passages and if you prefer a longer one, it can be a great introduction to offshore sailing. If your mate is a bit concerned why not try a shorter passage as part of an expedition. (See Schedule)
Topics covered will include:
- destination and route planning
- budgeting for your cruise
- using marine electronics effectively
- advanced anchoring techniques
- communications at sea: e-mail, SSB radio, etc.
