Next he worked for his Basic Keelboat Instructor Certification and started teaching the Basic Keelboat Classes. Then he added a USCG Captain’s License and US Sailing Basic Cruising and Bareboat Cruising Instructor Certifications and started teaching those classes on his boat and the club’s Beneteaus. Finally he added a USCG Master’s 100 Ton License with a Sailing Endorsement. He now teaches both the Basic Cruising and Bareboat Cruising Classes and Certification on his 40 foot sloop.
