SEA DOG

A six day live-aboard course.

This course is held during a 200 mile passage, most likely Florianópolis - São Francisco do Sul - Florianópolis. This route will require thought and planning.

Meteorological, navigational and logistic concepts will have to be discussed and understood.

Depending on the weather, we will have a night sailing, either on the outward or return journey.

São Francisco do Sul is an attractive old town, the third oldest in Brazil. It holds the Sea museum (Museo do Mar), and it is the home for a lot of nautical history. There we will moor at Capri Yacht Club; a very well located club, simply marvellous.

Price: U$ 1.600,00 per pupil. Includes food and accommodation aboard. Minimu two, maximum three people per course.
