Additional Notes:
- You must allow sufficient time away from personal commitments to account for weather delays, etc.
- All MileCatchers students must show proof of sailing
experience to at least RYA Competent Crew standard. Sunsail instructors reserve the right to assess students’ ability prior to any voyage to establish competency standards. - The ingredients for meals are supplied on the MileCatchers voyages. Preparation of meals and cleanliness of the vessel is the students’ responsibility and part of the MileCatchers course. A roster system will be designed at the beginning of the course and each student is expected to prepare meals or do chores as required on the roster.
