USVI training / learning / instruction

[ED-M]

My wife and I are looking for a teacher(s) to help us learn to sail our new 40’ catamaran we are accepting in the Virgin Islands (St. Thomas) mid-February. We will be living aboard. Ideally we will get a few different perspectives. We would like training from both a professional teacher and experienced cruises.

Our backgrounds: I have skippered a group of 6-7 on various 40’ mono-hulls in Lake Superior once a year for a dozen years. I have taken ASA courses including catamaran but have not been in charge of a catamaran. My wife has sailed with me and her brother several times, but let’s call her a beginner.

Please let me know of anyone in the Virgin Islands that might be able to help.

Thank you

If you still want someone in mid/late March I will be finishing a cat delivery on St Thomas and would be happy to work with you.

Hope to get some training before late March but would love to get some training from you for a day or two! I'll be in touch.

I have the perfect guy for you! We learned from him on a Leopard 44 and he has been teaching for years. Captain R. J. https://instagram.com/capt_ridge?igshid=104108j74qr2b
He is currently living aboard and chartering a catamaran in the USVI.


Really an awesome dude!
