Coastal Passage Making Prep Charter Share

This is an opportunity to hone in on all of your sailing skills from Docking to Navigation and everything in between. Great for that weeks in between CPM classes to get out and practice with other sailors without the instructor looking over your shoulder. Whether you’re a grad or student or just thinking about the CPM program the practice is fantastic.

Each session will be geared towards a particular activity.
