Sailing Theory Courses Are A Great Way To Start Learning To Sail Today!
Before you set sail on your Caribbean learn to sail course, you have the choice to study a 5 day intensive shore based theory course with your instructor in Grenada, or to take the course online in your own time. Each method has its pros and cons, which we look into below.
Sailing Theory Courses – Classroom Based Learning
A huge benefit to classroom based sailing theory courses is having the instructor right there in front of you. You can ask questions, adjust the pace of learning, and adapt the course structure based on previous knowledge. The tuition can be tailored to suit you personally and many students are appreciative of this. No wasting time going over things you may have already learned before!
Within a group you have the support of your classmates, as well as one-on-one tuition with your instructor. At Bluewater Sailing, we have a maximum of 4 students per class to maximise the quality one-on-one training and make the theory course interesting, fun and relaxing to work through.
Our sailing theory courses are taught over 40 hours with two examination papers. We can schedule this to be covered as a series of short sessions or as an intensive 5 day shore based course.
A great part of the course is that you get to stay in Grenada and explore our beautiful island too. This coupled with a 5 or 7 day practical sailing course will give you a well-rounded vacation – land based stay in Grenada and afterwards sailing through the stunning Grenadines.
