Classroom/Winter Training Program

The courses listed below are what we typically offer during the winter season.

Navigation rules are the law! Learn "steering and sailing rules"

for sailing and power vessels.

Learn basic Diesel engine operations and how to maintain maintenance on auxiliary diesel engines.

Learn about basic sub system operations, how to maintain

them and how to operate them safely.

Team PSC will help you learn, lines of position, dead reckoning, ranges, estimated positions, running fixes, and danger bearings.

Bad weather at sea can generate fear and uncertainty, sap morale and lead to poor decision making - but it doesn’t need to!

Learn to apply basic celestial navigation theory and practice

to determine latitude and longitude at sea using a sextant.

This class covers essential knowledge for

anchoring, rafting and chartering.

Prerequisite: Basic Celestial Navigation

This class takes you from the basic sun reduction to moon, planets and stars sights.

Notes:

You may cancel your reservation for a class up to 15 days in advance of the class. However, if you cancel after that date (or if you just fail to show up), you will not get a refund.
No exams are given following any of these classes. Rules of the Road, General Knowledge, and Navigation Exams are required for the Bay Skipper Program.
