Alumni Sailing

in the British Virgin Islands

May 17-24, 2008

Learn the art of keelboat sailing on this new Alumni trip offering.  The waters of the British Virgin Islands will be home for seven days of learning to cruise.

The curriculum is the same as a NOLS semester sailing section and will focus extensively on sailing and living aboard mid-sized (50 ft) cruisers. You'll learn charts, navigation, and seamanship while being expected to cook meals and rotate through the various crew positions.

You'll enjoy the striking scenery of the British Virgin Islands while sharing quarters with a few other participants and NOLS instructors. After this trip, you should feel confident in your ability to sail with an experienced crew.
