About Offshoresail Academy
I have created an opportunity for those who dream of going out and sailing offshore.
Before setting off on your own boat, it is a good idea to try sailing in warm waters with currents and tides and sailing for several days with watch schedules.
I have the boat, nautical skills and the necessary experience. My concept is to make it possible for a family or friends to sail for one or two weeks to try out and learn what it takes to enjoy aboard for a limited time.
We will spend a few weeks together going through and discussing Offshoresailing in more detail to learn from each other. There is also the opportunity to dive as I have diving equipment and a compressor on board to fill with air.
