Preparing To Charter DVD
The Bare Essential of Bareboat Chartering:
If you long to charter a boat but have never sailed without the safety net of an experienced skipper, you may find the Academy of Maritime Training’s "Preparing to Charter" DVD beneficial.
This "Preparing to Bareboat Charter" DVD follows a couple about to set sail in the spectacular Whitsunday Islands, as they navigate their way past the common pitfalls often encountered by those chartering on their own for the very first time.
Shot in High Definition video in both PAL and NTSC formats, this DVD explores topics such as:
- anchoring
- navigation
- boat handling
- mooring
- radio procedures
- heavy weather
- reefing sails
- boat systems and more imparting essential information to first timers before they take to the helm.
The Academy of Maritime Training’s Principle, Mr Rowland Short, has enjoyed a lifelong love affair with sailing, but can still remember what those first tentative voyages as a skipper were like.
“Bareboat chartering for the first time is often fraught with anxiety, but if you already know the basics you’ll be confident and ready to enjoy your first trip to the full – that’s the essence of what this DVD is all about,” said Mr Short.
- IMPORTANT NOTE: To enjoy a bareboat charter with Sunsail you do need to possess reasonable sailing experience. We require that at least one of your charter party has both theory and practical sailing experience. Your skipper must be able to competently and confidently skipper your chosen vessel. We recommend this DVD as an excellent tool in refreshing and re-inforcing existing skills and knowledge. This DVD is not intended to be a substitute for actual experience.
- As this DVD is produced by an independent source, Sunsail accepts no responsbility for any of the content displayed.
