WELCOME TO THE WINTER TRAINING PROGRAM !

Our Winter Training Program is ready to begin our 2012/2013 calendar year of events! Classes will begin in November 2012 and run through March 2013.

These short courses are designed to provide advanced classroom training beyond the Basic Sailing Course and in support of the Bay Skipper program. Bay Skipper Candidates will gain skills and knowledge that will help successfully complete the Bay Skipper qualification program.

Training Benefits: Specialized classes... like sail trim, navigation, anchoring, bareboat chartering, etc.... all taught by PSC experienced sailors, and aimed at those who want to learn more about sailing beyond our basic sailing classes. Of note, the piloting & navigation classes are part of our ASA 105 (Coastal Navigation) certification course.

Our Winter Training courses are our most popular off-season training events.  Make your class reservations today so that you don't miss out!  Contact Caroline Acker, the Winter Training Coordinator for more information. Download the Winter Training Class Registration Form (PDF format) to register for a class, and send it to the Treasurer along with your payment made out to Pentagon Sailing Club.
