Intermediate Coastal Navigation

Description

Sail Canada has two Coastal Navigation standards: Basic Coastal Navigation and Intermediate Coastal Navigation.

Coastal Navigation is an essential part of your seamanship toolbox. It is essential for you to know where you are going, how to get there safely, and what to do when plans change! A Coastal Navigation certification is also a requirement for many charter companies. If you are hoping to one day sail off into the sunset, this course is for you!
