OCSC's Catamaran Cruising course
Using her width for stability rather than a keel, a catamaran handles differently to a monohull. However, under the tutelage of an instructor, the differences are easy to learn. Your three-hour session will cover topics that include learning how to operate the Gemini 105's ingenious inboard/outboard engine, springing off the dock, footing for speed and managing the use of double centerboards.
If you're a Bareboat Cruising certified OCSC member, this class is the most cost-effective way of getting checked out to charter the Gemini 105. Topics covered: - Proper use and care of the inboard/outboard pivoting drive unit
- Close quarters maneuvering under power
- Using the engine to hold the boat to windward with little or no way on
- Proper use and care of the centerboards
- Springing the catamaran off the dock
- Complete review of the catamaran electrical and plumbing accessories
Successful completion prepares you to:
- Charter catamarans up to 50' with confidence in the popular charter locations around the world.
- Charter OCSC's Gemini, a really well designed cruising boat for San Francisco Bay.
