Ocean Hiker Competent Crew Course

Sailing course koh tao thailand breeze

The Ocean Hiker sailing course is a Competent Crew Course, the start for everyone wanting to sail a yacht. Our approach of teaching is based on our very own blue water sailing experience. The additional skills we were adding to the common standards are of importance to any crew on an ocean passage.The Ocean Hiker Sailing Course is the international standards for competent crew courses like the RYA, IYT or ISA. We are not only mentioning during the Ocean Hiker/ Competent Crew Course that there are marine VHF radios aboard any ocean going sailing yacht, we introduce at this level the basics how to work it. Competent Crew Course Splicing as part of the sailing course Thailand Ko Tao This does not mean that we depreciate available licenses within the maritime world but we know that knowledge and skills are essential for survival. After extensive research we found that most sailing associations are not teaching at any sailing course level  the skill of splicing ropes anymore which we still do? Well, when we go for a Charter Cruise here in Thailand we definitely prefer a crew with a broad maritime knowledge and a bag full of skills.

Check out our different course combination’s of our sailing school to see what would suite you best. Our sailing lessons are taught by experienced cruising sailors, the yachts are ocean going vessels to undertake passage making.
