Ask these before you pay
- Which qualification does the course award, and who recognises it?
- What is the student-to-instructor ratio on the water?
- Is the racing a social start or a serious campaign?
- Does the course count toward a bareboat charter resume?
Local conditionsRoaring Forties systems and local topography create large variation. Westerlies, fronts and katabatic effects require flexible itineraries.Principal hazards: cold water, powerful fronts, ocean swell, remoteness, limited shelter on exposed coasts and sparse services in the south-west. Ask the operator for its wind limits, alternative route and cancellation decision time.Today’s BOM marine forecast
