Route description

This seven-day intensive will prepare you for independent sea adventures!

After successful completion of the course, you will receive an international license from the ISSA International Sailing Association, which will allow you to rent a yacht yourself in most countries of the world (except Israel, Russia and Japan).

The course runs from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. in ultra-small groups of up to 4 people and consists of 6 days of practical exercises at sea and two theoretical lessons in the Zoom. There are about 40 hours of marine practice and 20 hours of theory in total.

In the course program:
Construction and rigging of a sailing yacht
Yacht control under the engine: maneuvering, mooring, anchoring
Sailing a boat: setting sails, heading to the wind, overstay and fore wind turns, tacks, reefs, drift.
Classical and electronic navigation

Night navigation
Saving a man who was overboard

If you try to learn as much as we will try to teach you, then by the end of the week you may turn out to be a novice sea wolf or she-wolf. We are looking forward to seeing you!

Classes are held in the Haifa water area.
