Sailing courses for grand adventures, designed for everyone
As an affiliate of the French Sailing Federation, Karukinka Exploration offers comprehensive training in sailing aboard a fully equipped ocean-going vessel that has completed two circumnavigations.
Tailored to your aspirations and leveraging our team’s expertise, you will:
– learn essential safety principles for navigating and living aboard a yacht,
– gain insights into relevant disciplines such as meteorology and basic physics related to vessel operation,
– actively engage in various manoeuvres including sail adjustments, helming, changing tack, mooring, and knot tying,
– acquire skills to effectively use onboard electronics like VHF radio, chart plotters, autopilots, depth sounders, anemometers, radar, and Navtex,
– develop a diverse skill set to ensure your independence in long-distance cruising, covering areas such as mechanical and electrical systems, equipment maintenance and repair, regulatory compliance, and documentary resources.
In this context, we provide and validate your sailing logbooks recognised by the French Sailing Federation, which are also acknowledged by numerous international sailing clubs, aiding in your pursuit of a boating license.
