How to learn to sail in 12 weeks to become a liveaboard

As a passionate sailor with years of experience navigating the seas, I’ve always found immense joy and freedom in the art of sailing. This program is the culmination of a personal journey – a journey that began with the challenge of training my partner and two children in the finer aspects of sailing. It’s a journey that I now wish to share with you.

Sailing has been a significant part of our family life. My partner and children were familiar with casual sailing experiences from their younger days, including some charters in the Mediterranean. However, as they grew, I realized the need for a more structured and comprehensive training program that could prepare them for more ambitious sailing adventures – not just in the familiar waters of the Mediterranean but beyond, into the vast and challenging expanses of the open sea.

This program was born out of that necessity. It is designed to take a beginner or intermediate sailor through the essential stages of sailing, covering everything from the very basics to more advanced techniques and skills. Over the course of 12 weeks, with a commitment of 6 hours per week, this program systematically builds sailing knowledge and proficiency.

The structure of the program is intentional. It begins with foundational concepts and gradually moves into more complex and challenging aspects of sailing. Each week is dedicated to a specific theme, ensuring a well-rounded and comprehensive learning experience. The aim is to instill confidence and competence, not just in individual sailors but in a family unit, fostering teamwork and collaboration on the water.

I am now excited to share this program with other sailing enthusiasts. Whether you’re looking to train with your family or individually, this program offers a structured pathway to developing the necessary skills for enjoyable and safe sailing adventures.

I welcome any feedback or suggestions for improvement. Sailing is a continuous learning journey, and I believe that we can all learn from each other’s experiences. My hope is that this program not only equips you with the skills for sailing but also instills a lifelong passion for this wonderful sport.

Let’s set sail on this adventure together!
