Q: What level of experience is needed to participate in adventure
sailing?
A: If your aim is to obtain the ASA certifications, you must
first complete the prerequisites. If your goal is not to obtain
the certifications but rather gain the experience, you should
have considerable prior sailing experience. A call to Modern
Sailing Academy will help us determine your qualifications.
Q: What is included in the price?
A: The price includes the boat, the instructor, all tests and
the certifications. You’re responsible for airfare, provisioning
the boat (as a group), any outside costs including hotels, restaurants,
shopping etc…
Q: What kind of cabin accommodations do the boats have? Do
I get my own cabin?
A: Generally students share cabins. Couples get their own cabin
and singles share cabins. If shared by singles, the cabin will
have single berths. In some cases, students have a whole cabin
for themselves.
Q: How many people do you take on these trips?
A: Not more than six students, an instructor and sometimes a
first mate.
Q: Regarding shipboard duties, what is expected of me?
A: Everyone is expected to pitch in and work together to do
the things that are required on an ocean voyage. Typical duties
include standing watch, cooking, steering, navigating, shipboard
system maintenance, and housekeeping. No one person will be
solely responsible for one duty; rather a rotation of duties
will be practiced.
Q: What should I bring with me?
A: Upon registering, you will be sent a handout that tells you
everything you need to know about your trip including what to
bring and what not to bring. We call this our “Adventure
Sailing Packet.” Read over the information carefully and
send back to us the required forms.
Q: What happens if I register, send a deposit and can’t
make it?
A: Our cancellation policy will be stated verbally before we
take a deposit. It will also be stated in
writing. It is imperative that you “cover your bases”
as much as possible, so nothing unforeseen arises that would
keep you from taking your trip. |
