Advanced Sportboat Clinic

Our Berkeley Advanced Sportboat Clinic is for qualified sailors to stretch and expand their boat-handling skills to meet and manage unexpected challenges and to lay the foundation for competitive and high-performance sailing. A major element of this 2-day clinic is that we do not use the engine; we challenge students to operate and control the boat safely, elegantly, and confidently in difficult situations under sail.

Included:

→ Blindfolded sailing
→ Slalom courses
→ Sailing backwards
→ Anchoring under sail
→ Docking under sail

Master your boat handling under sail! You know the basics; let's work on finesse -- without an engine!

Clinic Duration: 2 days, 9:00am - 4:30pm

Cost for Members:

$595

Cost for Non Members:

$745

Prerequisites:

Sportboat Fleet Rating and three Sportboat charters as skipper of record.

Captain Jeff Cathers is really cool. I had such a great time on the Farallones Day Trip. It was actually my very best day of 2020. Thank you so much for coordinating the trip.

The vessel was clean and in fine condition - very nice boat for training, well-equipped.

We just took our ASA 106 at a school in Rhode Island as we prepare for 6 months of cruising in the Caribbean. The class was great, but more than anything it made us really appreciate the quality of teaching and rigor at Modern Sailing. Even though we were the newest to sailing, the group seemed to think that we had the best fundamentals. We felt very well prepared and we see why Modern Sailing has the reputation it does.

Every aspect of Modern Sailing - training, syllabus, course materials, quality of the boats, quality of the instructors, and the very friendly and helpful staff - exceeded my expectations. Modern Sailing has a first class sailing program in an environment with challenging winds and currents. I look forward to coming back to charter a boat and certainly plan to continue my sailing training.

It has been wonderful sailing with MSC over the years. Please extend my thanks to the owners, management, and staff for unrequited professionalism and high standards in a charter fleet. I have sailed with several in my years and none nearly hold a candle to the quality of business and staff at Modern Sailing.
