*** It is not about us: It is all about YOU, to have Fun, Learning the excitement of "Life at Sea !"   From Coastal-Cruiser- Training to Regatta-Training and on to Ocean- Race- Cruisers.
Our training of what to know, how to, what to be aware of, the do or not to do, how to have fun safely and for you to know what is reality vs. some of the advertised promises. In our program, we
have the Boats and the Instructors to make your Sailing Dream come True. The following is for your basic insight into Ocean- Cruising- Sailing:
What is the difference between the Geronimo and the "one-design boats" frequently used for sail training? A LOT! First of all, the Geronimo is a one-of, not a one-design. Being a one-of
means that the Geronimo is a one of a kind, specifically designed for open ocean racing. The sails, high mast, cockpit design and equipment of the Geronimo reflect the design for open ocean
racing at long distance, including heavy weather equipment. On the other hand, a one-design boat is a boat designed for one purpose, that being for one type racing which is mostly
windward-leeward racing and generally the sails are not designed to be reefed, and have to be changed for heavy weather (couple cruising ?!)
Also, quite a few schools teach ocean racing on a boat which is a "one-design-racer " and not a real ocean-race-cruiser, and a coastal cruiser is not a long distance open ocean racer. One of
the differences between a cruiser and a racer is that the cruiser typically has a high cabin while an ocean racer has the capability to rotate 360 degrees due to its design to be self-rightening.
This design is with a low cabin and a high free board is for heavy seas. The reason for the low cabin and sealed off cockpit has to do with safety issues. On an ocean racer, the low cabin
allows the boat to withstand the wave impact, and if needed, the boat can rollover a complete 360 degrees and righten herself. These are important safety issues that should be kept in mind
and, we make a great emphasis in our training on preparing boats for heavy weather. With the Geronimo, the boat was designed with open ocean racing in mind, combining optimum safety
and function of the boat. In our training we will show you how to prepare a cruiser for heavy weather sailing. We feel it is very important for our students to be aware of the difference in
preparation and handling a boat safely in any condition and what sails to use in a timely manner at heavy seas so the boat will not be forced by the water pressure onto her side, causing the
extreme dangerous breach condition.
And to answer the question of good seamanship vs. which boat design to use in long distance ocean cruising, monohull vs. catamaran, in the 2007 Arc Regatta, 2600 miles Atlantic crossing
with all types of boats, where the majority got caught in bad weather for almost 60 hours, monohull vs. catamaran results speak for themselves with the monohulls leading the catamarans by
approximately five days. Our experience in heavy weather has shown that 30 hours in bad weather is not very good, and 50 hours is by far worse! Just for general information, in the event of a
24 hour storm, the seas will by very rough for 50% = 12 hours after the storm has passed. Be aware of surfing in heavy seas as there is a great danger to pitch pole the boat or to be overrun by
the following seas. The bottom line is, if you know how to get the speed up, you can get away. Our "Geronimo" Regatta-Crew-Training will teach you how.
The above scenarios are mentioned not to scare you, but it would be foolish to train someone without making them aware of the worst case scenario. Anyone with Atlantic experience will
confirm that conscientious preparation is the key for safe ocean crossing. At times, it may not be very comfortable, but in your heart you know how to prepare, how to maneuver with all the safety
awareness received by our training and the importance of the difference of sails, their setting and design functions.
There are several Coastal/ocean-Cruiser designs on the market with all that in mind. After your training you will be able to see what is best for you, to charter or to buy. (In my opinion) Go for
comfort first, cruising speed second. (And remember, it seems they shrink on a daily basis on long trips!) After you have found the cruising boat for you and if want to go Racing, "Call us". We
would love to help you, to find the right Boat and have you as a Race-Crew-Member.
In view that you can be trained by the same instructors from Basic Sailing through the advanced Course open ocean training, and you will be fully prepared to master a coastal ocean cruiser. In
the "Geronimo" Regatta-Crew-Training you be taking part, and be part, of the high end of Sailing & Cruising. You will know what Ocean-Cruiser-Racing is all about, as a team or as a couple.
And if you are Race-Crewing on the "Geronimo" in one of her real regattas, you will know with confidence that you are fully qualified to be part of a very well rehearsed team and you will enjoy the
competition against other boats with mostly equally well trained crews never to be underestimated. As I have looked many, many miles at the stern plates of competitors who had absolutely no
intention to let me go by them, even so I used all of the tricks in maneuvers that I could think of. My respect and admiration goes to the "Skippers and Crews"    I have competed with on many
occasions, and the patience of those who trained me. It has taught me to respect other competitors and to be proud of my crews when "they" were looking at my stern plate.        I am fully aware
that I could not have done it by myself, and that is the fun, excitement and camaraderie for the entire team.    I have not had a bad day of sailing, and I believe work is just plain over-rated!
We do not claim to be the greatest Sailors of all time, but good enough to make the newspapers and the podiums a few times.
