The same compnay will be offering the US class coming this summer as well as the ASA. I have either taken a certification course, become a certified instructor, and worked for several of these certifying programs—all of which I did before the age o f 19. It appears that one can be certified by US Sailing or American Sailing Assoc. I hope you find Nomadic Sailing informative and fun as you set off on your next adventure! If you include the “maybe” countries, that brings the total number of countries from 27 to 32.Again, similar to the ICC, the IPC is an internationally recognized certificate of sailing competence with certified sailing schools all over the world. While these sailing organizations obviously specialize in providing top quality sailing education, they do bring other educational opportunities to the table.Most of the sailing organization we took a look at provide further education in other water-based activities, but the ones that really stand out are IYT, RYA, and US Sailing. Both organizations have a very strong network in their respective countries and provide a lot of value for their local communities.Depending on where you might end up sailing the majority of the time, you’ll want to consider whether it makes sense to get one certificate over the other. ASA and US Sailing standards are nearly identical. However, if you do ever plan on crossing the pond, consider the IPC as you’ll be able to sail in both US and European waters.I mentioned this before, but the ICC is the most well-known sailing certification in the world so it’s likely that most countries, even if they don’t officially recognize it, will recognize it informally. If you’re in the US or North America, consider US Sailing. I did US Sailing basic keelboat and am looking into doing the Basic Cruising certification as well.
While the sailing organizations we covered have schools all over the world, others are soley present in certain countries and regions.The two sailing organizations that have sailing schools all over the world are IYT and ASA, with IYT covering far more countries. I am most familiar with US Sailing (USS) and American Sailing Association (ASA). International Yacht Training (IYT) is one of the most prominent, well-known independent sailing and boating training organizations in the world. I have sailed a 18'' hobie in the past and sailed once with a friend on a 21'' cruiser, but I bought a sailboat because I got a great deal and then went to learn how to sail. Both systems have many excellent schools and instructors, and each system can claim "bragging rights" over the other in certain respects. US Sailing probably carries a little more weight and prestige as they are the governing body of sailing in the U.S. Praise him for showing restraint this year (you know we love you, right Dog? I am a sailor!
I think most charter companies give as much weight to a platinum Mastercard as your sailing resume.Don't jump on Dog for jumping on that guy last year. he claims it is not much difference at all. Many places will just do a checkout sail to see that you know what you are doing, some will do that anyway even if you have ASA or USS certifications. To know the things I was doing wrong and makie sure they are right.Seems I have been the person to post the last couple of time here. Both are good and are generally accepted. When it comes to chartering, which cert. The certification provides the same exact luxuries and permissions as if it was earned from the ASA.One of the main differences between the ASA and US Sailing in terms of the schools is that they are soley located in the United States.
Since most of those who charter vessels are aware of the strong standard IYT sets for its students, they’re more likely to provide you with a sailboat.When it comes to the renewal time of your ICC, you’ll need to renew it every 5 years. So we are getting plenty of time at the helm as well as being the crew. American Sailing Association (ASA) Started in 1983, the ASA is the most widely known sailing association in the US, with more than 300 sailing schools teaching its programs and almost half a million sailors certified. I was signing certificates for my students when I was only 18 – years before I truly felt like I understood … But I spent 250 for myself and 250 for my cousin and we are being taught personally.
Oh what fun it is to sail in the open bay''s today he he he. is more widely recognized ( hope to charter on the Great Lakes, East Coast and Caribbean in the years to come).
While you’ll certainly want to investigate their IPC course, there are plenty of other intersting courses that any water loving crew member would love to dive into.As the saying goes, “knowing is half the battle”. Just the two of us. I have US Sailing certifications and I''ve been happy with them and with US Sailing.
But wil post again after I take the course ot let you know about it.I completed the ASA Coastal Navigation and Basic Keelboat Classes 2 years ago. This means that even if, say, 101 was a prerequisite to 103, and they wouldn't accept the US Sailing equivalent, (or vice versa) you do not have to take the whole course. This is in stark contrast to the ICC since it doesn’t officially allow for chartering sailboats in the US and the Americas in general. Either way, one these organizations will likely have some school relatively close to where you are compared to RYA and US Sailing.If you’re located in the UK, consider RYA.
Mine was broad reach to a broad reach (doing a jib), but not no more. Any reason for reviving a thread that was dead for almost five years?
