Lessons

Have you bought a boat or are thinking of buying one? I teach boat owners how to get the most enjoyment out of sailing their wonderful new boat. I also teach their partners how to get comfortable with sailing and being able to take control of the boat.

We'll go over what you want to learn whether it's just a refresher or all the way up to CYA certification. I specialize in low key, enjoyable, relaxed sailing lessons that teach you what you need to know, customized to your learning style.
Pleasure Craft Operator Card (PCOC)

All operators of vessels with a motor, whether or not it is in use, require a Pleasure Craft Operator Card.
Courses offered individually or for groups. Challenges are available. You can get your PCOC study guide from me or download the PDF.

Marine Radios are an inexpensive, essential safety device for all boaters. To operate marine radios, you need the Restricted Operator Certificate (Maritime), (ROC(M)).
Includes Digital Selective Calling (DSC) and the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS).

"I took several sailing lessons with Joel. He is a natural teacher - patient, thorough and attentive.  I always felt comfortable and safe, even in difficult weather. And most of all - he makes sure that sailing is always as fun!" Ury S.
