Hello All ! I completed my basic sailing certification through US Sailing in May. I am scheduled to take the Keelboat Certification in Erie Pa. this July. I''ve been reading the Keelboat book and the study information is almost the same as in my basic certification class, aside from some navigating basics,
winches, few new knots etc. My question is.. ( and it is in regards to furthur classes such as coastal cruising, bareboat, etc)... Is Basic Keelboat still a prerequisite to Coastal Cruising even though I''ve completed my basic sailing certification? I''d hate to take a class and learn things I already have in my previous class. I know the keelboats are somewhat bigger than in my certification class, but the principles are the same , ie: sail handling, tacking, returning to dock etc.
