Bluewater Crew Shoreside Training

Description

We will meet at the pavillion shore school at 5pm and move onto the dock by 6:30pm, weather permitting. 

A class specifically for those interested and able to attain the bluewater crew rating. We will meet at the pavillion and work on shore-based topics related to the crew rating. Priority will be given to sailors actively pursuing the Bluewater Crew Rating and who have completed the following pre-reqs, however these sessions are open to anyone looking to learn new skills or interested in getting involved with the program. 

• Attain the MIT Provisional rating
• Complete the Nauticed.org Skipper course, (or ASA 103, US Sailing “Basic Cruising”, or similar) and email your certificate of completion to bluewater-skippers@mit.edu. MITNA has arranged a discounted $25 rate for this online course. See the Bluewater Crew Rating Checklist for the discount code. When you email your certificate, it is best to copy at least one of the current skippers directly to avoid delays of email from a non-member to the list.
• Read very thoroughly the U.S. Coast Guard guide to navigation markers
• Print the bluewater crew rating checklist. 

See Bluewater Crew wiki for more info on the requirements.
