SELF-ASSESSMENT

Self-assess your sailing skills up to 4 Beaufort or about 16 knots of wind.


Level 1 = not at all true (0% - 20%)
Level 2 = just about true (21% - 50%)
Level 3 = true well (51% - 80%)

Level 4 = absolutely true (81% - 100%).

If you give yourself a 1 on any criterion, or you generally consider yourself to be in Level 2, it would make sense to brush up on your sailing skills before taking an Intro course. For example with a REFRESHER COURSE or with our sailing offers like SUNDOWNER and SAISONSTARTER.
