Basic & Intermediate Cruising Theory Courses:
Our Basic & Intermediate Cruising theory courses are a great way to either become familiar with some of the material before your course, or to refresh & review the ashore knowledge after your on-water course.
The Sail Canada Basic & Intermediate Cruising certification is a 2-step evaluation process: Afloat Sills & Ashore Knowledge:
- Afloat skills are evaluated continuously throughout the time you spend with your on-water instructor/coach.
- Ashore knowledge is assessed by a written test completed at a separate time.
