COSC's Young Adult Offshore Sailing Program
The Collegiate Offshore Sailing Circuit, Inc. (COSC) (www.cosc-usa.org) is offering an opportunity for young adults regionally (high school, college, post-college) to learn the skills necessary to enjoy sailing offshore.
The course, starting on July 13 and finishing on August 21, is 6 weeks of weekend training (including 3 overnight sails), and 2 weekday evenings per week. Participants will concurrently take the US Sailing Online Offshore Safety at Sea course. Four sailors plus a coach will man each of two Beneteau Figaro 2s (33’ length over all). The program is limited to 8 participants.
