Basic Sailing Skills Program

Did you join GCSC for a chance to crew?


Sailor Certification is just for you! It is designed to balance your sailing skills and interest with the understandable caution of a skipper bringing a new person on board for a safe and enjoyable cruise or a race.

The Sailor Certification Program includes the specific terminology and skills that will be demonstrated by you to the satisfaction of a Certification Captain.

Members with previous sailing experience are encouraged to use this program to “brush up” prior to scheduling the three formal Checkouts.

Members with limited or no sailing experience are encouraged to take advantage of the several “Learn to Sail” programs offered in the Naples area. Detailed program information can be seen here GCSC Basic Sailing Skills Program. Skill checklists for Levels I, II and III can be seen here Checkout Sheet for Level I Basic Sailing Skills Program, Checkout Sheet for Level II Basic Sailing Skills Program and Checkout Sheet for Level III Basic Sailing Skills Program.

Following successful completion of the Level I, II and III Checkouts, this information will be included in the member profile on the GCSC website and made available to GCSC skippers who have agreed to “add one more” to their cruising or racing crew.
