Mariners who have completed the prerequisites and
service hours may take this course to gain the knowledge and
skills necessary to skipper one of our small camp sloops. We have
two 420's. As the skipper of a medium-sized boat, these Mariners
will improve their sailing skills while learning how to manage and
direct a crew.
Completion of the
Performance Sailing theory rating is required to pass Sloop
Skipper. This additional material covers weather prediction,
anchoring, and navigation.
Persons born
on or after 9/1/1984, and under the age of 18 must have a Texas
Boaters Education Certificate to legally operate a wind-blown
vessel over 14 feet in length.
Sloop Skipper Prerequisites

Sloop Crew is required before Sloop Skipper.
- Before taking Sloop Skipper, you are expected to have been actively involved in Mariners for at least three months after Sloop Crew. Regular sailing during the three months is required.
