Ron Shute and Doris Parolin will help demystify what you need in terms of skills and certifications (ICC and other) to sail your own boat or a charter boat and to join major “big boat” races, on your own or with others in beautiful locations around the world.
Various options will be explored on how to build your boating knowledge, sailing skills and 
confidence levels to realize your sailing dreams. Whether you are interested in relaxed cruising with your family and friends, or you wish to get a taste for competitive ocean racing, your sailing options and opportunities are endless.
