ASA Bareboat Chartering (104)
Cruising Catamaran (114)
 About the Course
New Jersey Sailing School's combined Bareboat chartering (104) and
Cruising Catamaran (114) course is now being offered onboard the training
vessel Kathleen D, a 41' Maine Cat. This voyage offers excellent food
and beverages, wonderful scenery, real-world navigation training with
practical experience along some of the most scenic and beautiful
waterways the East Coast has to offer. Navigation is done by using
state-of-the-art GPS and e-chart navigation as well as traditional
log and compass techniques using paper charts. We will cover
real-life coastal navigation techniques while underway, with special
emphasis on the practical hands-on use of radar. Instruction occurs
in daily sessions, as well as individual instruction during watch
standing. This three-day (3-night) trip offers plenty of private time
for reading, navigation practice, and sight seeing underway. The
Maine Cat runs from Highlands and
return.

Spouses and partners
If you have family or friends that may not be interested in all of
the navigation training, they can still sign up for the three-day
(3-night) voyage and only participate to the extent they wish. This
voyage alone without all the extra navigation training is still a
most wonderful and economical experience. The waterways we cruise
are truly magical.
There is no
smoking allowed on any of our vessels
