What is next?
​Once you have successfully completed the sailing course you may wonder how to keep on sailing?
Some might buy a boat or have a friend with a boat. You can join one of the many sailing clubs, sailing co-ops or even consider crewing on a race boat. Or keep sailing our fleet with the West Coast Sailing Club.

SAILING CLUB

​The West Coast Sailing Club uses the same boats you sailed on during the course. It is a very attractive option to continue sailing, meet like minded people and develop your sailing skills.

SKILL DEVELOPMENT

Simply Sailing offers a range of Skill Development Clinics   for docking, crew overboard recovery and more advanced skills.  
- Solidify the skills you just learnt.
- Work towards the intermediate certification

INTERMEDIATE COURSE

Do you want to charter a boat or perhaps expand your cruising area? The intermediate sailing course will help you achieve those goals. This course builds upon the knowledge you learnt in the basic course.
