Skills & Skipper Assessments
We intend to once again plan sessions throughout the fleet. These cruises are not only designed for those members who wish to improve their general boat handling Skills, but also those who may wish to become Skippers (Coastal) or those who would like to progress from Coastal to Offshore status within the Association.
The price, terms and conditions of each session are the same as for a Skippered Cruise - see below.

Places will be allocated on a first come, first served basis and to reserve your berth, please contact gsa.skipcruise@gmail.com and please state your willingness or otherwise to sharing a double berth.
General
If you would interested in taking up a berth on a cruise please email Peter Hall - gsa.skipcruise@gmail.com. It will help planning the cruises if you can give some idea of which boat and when you would like go sailing. Note that we are still in the planning stage and, while expressions of interest will help us, we cannot guarantee to meet all preferences.
