Dear Steve and Doris, It's with great pleasure to announce to you that after being a loyal (and very satisfied)student of Offshore Sailing School, I am now moving on to my final career of a life at sea. After 3-1/2 years of planning, I have successfully sold my 21 year-old business, sold my house, placed my worldly possessions in storage and am heading to Lunenburg, Nova Scotia to sign on to the barque Picton Castle as a sail trainee for a 13-month around the world voyage to further my education and to receive the necessary training and time at sea to qualify for my Able-Bodied Seaman's license and 100-ton Captain's license. I want to thank you and your highly competent and professional staff for all you have taught me throughout my course of study at Offshore Sailing School. Keep up the good work! Bruce MacBain (pictured above)

Like Bruce, you can go from novice to skilled passage maker too.

Then choose your Fast Track to Coastal Passagemaking™ dates. This 10-day finale starts with the comprehensive 4-day Coastal Navigation course ashore, immediately followed by our 6-day Passagemaking course on 44-51’ cruising yachts.

Here’s where COAST® programs are available in 2009:

In addition, each time you book your Fast Track package, you get 10% off that already discounted package price, free US SAILING Certification; plus, additional savings that add up to thousands more!

  • Up to 15% discount on your first Moorings charter plus Captain’s Club benefits
  • Up to $2,000 off a brand new Hunter yacht purchase of 30 feet or more
