Essential skills to master, before you go cruising

Before you go cruising, there are some important skills to master on a catamaran to keep you and your family out of harms way, or know how to recover if you get into trouble. We interview experience catamaran skipper Brett Hodder about the important skills that are now taught in a new RYA Day Skipper course with Pacific Sailing School onboard cruising catamarans, plus insights from Pacific Sailing School Principle Terry Wise.

Thank you, great explanation to start to have idea off all to be considered to learn.

[@rossleto4250]

Thanks Multihull Central.

[@kaylaandjimbryant8258]

Good tips! Thanks! We plan to get down your way somewhere in the adventure we are planning, but we'll probably have to get some us sailing certified classes in California when we get the boat. We'd also like to get heavy weather training as well. Probably better to get that experience with an instructor than to have to learn it the hard way in a big storm.

The closer you get to being able to repair everything on your yacht the closer you are to being the best cruising yachtsman.

Hi I wana by a boat and sail it around the world.just i have a qoestion that what certificate i need for saling a 28 or 30 ft sail boat?

[@OlmerUA]

You need something like a IYT bareboat skipper certificate. Alternative would be RYA coastal Skipper certificate. Then you have some experience⛵ and decide if you want to progress any further🙂.

[@martinc9867]

At least get yourself a certificate of competence or something similar,Master Offshore . There is free education available and onlt the exam is paid for.Go for a week on holidays and do a proper training with confirmation.The boat will not be insured without someone on board with the necessary qualification to leave the harbor. If you like to know what you need to learn,go to IYT,International Yacht Trainng and check it out. Great way to go through all the material online and then go and do the examination on a boat after a week of intense training with people who know what to do on a boat,instructors.Getting knowledge is not expensive,but not having it can be lifechanging for bad.

The most important skill to aquire before going long distance cruising ? How to fix everything . Sooner or later EVERYTHING wil stop , jam or burnout .
