Each course lasts a total of 6 days, with 5 days spent at sea. From beginner to advanced levels, Sindel Sailing's training scheme is as follows: Competent Crew, Day Skipper, and Bareboat Captain. After 3 weeks, you will feel confident about organizing your own weeks and embarking on a lifelong journey. Discover the details below.
Competant Crew
Our primary goal in this training, where you will take your first step into sea life, is to experience the unique beauties of life at sea. Throughout this week, you will familiarize yourself with the boat as a living space, as well as basic seamanship and sailing techniques. By the end of this training, you will have acquired knowledge on boat types, boat parts and equipment, basic sailing maneuvers, steering, and, most importantly, ensuring safety while living on board. You will receive your first Logbook at the weekend, with your first completed 120nm journey recorded :)
Day Skipper
You've taken your first step into sea life during your previous training. Your presence here signifies that the course has fulfilled its purpose, and you've experienced the unique joy of sailing alongside us. In this training, you will reinforce the information received in your previous sessions, review all theoretical knowledge, and most importantly, delve into Navigation and Meteorology, essential aspects of our sailing lives. And, of course, we won't overlook practice sessions on mooring and docking.
Bareboat Captain
After completing the SS1 and SS2 trainings, you now feel comfortable with sailboats and sailing, capable of making your life on the boat enjoyable and very comfortable. Now, after reviewing everything covered in the first two trainings, it's time to delve into the details of safety at sea and prepare ourselves for undesirable situations. In this training, you will receive detailed instruction on personal safety, boat safety, and the safety of your guests. The highlight of the week will be the Man over Board Maneuver (MOB).
