Advanced Sportboat Clinic | Modern Sailing

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: 
$615
Cost for Non Members: 
$770
Prerequisites: 
Sportboat Fleet Rating and three Sportboat charters as skipper of record.

    I would like to compliment Stan Lander for his coaching, counseling and teaching Heavy Weather Offshore Sailing. Stan was very accommodating to all of the student's interests and shared his many years of insight on handling the boat in heavy seas. I would certainly recommend Stan and this course to sheltered waters sailors. My confidence in handling a boat of this size was certainly enhanced by the experience.

  • Mike, Santa Rosa, California

    All of the courses and my instructors (JT and Stan) were extremely professional and full of knowledge and experience. I found I was able to learn from their experiences beyond the scope of the courses, and look forward to future opportunities to do so. I would highly recommend Modern Sailing to anyone.

    The office staff was very accommodating in meeting my availability.

  • John Clark

    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.

    I've taken two classes at MSS&C and was very happy with the program. This is also a great club with lots of opportunities for camaraderie and practice on the water. The boats in the fleet are fantastic and kept in tip-top shape. I highly recommend for all sailors and would-be sailors!
