It seems like Brad Avery, Director our program has been building momentum since OCC started Mette Segerblom, Sailing Program Coordinator a sailing team in 1960. Fifty-fi ve years ago we had ten students Debbie Dunne, Professional Programs Assistant on a sailing team. Today more than 1,500 people of all ages get Terry Essen, Offi ce Assistant out on the water in classes every year. Each decade has seen new Victoria Hubbard, Registration Services facilities and new boats. Our course catalog contains dozens Julie Myers, Registration Services of diff erent classes.

On-the-Water Instructors 2016 will see more momentum. Our entire marina will be replaced with new Alex Boullon Marc Hughston Robert Profeta docks and pilings, with a new dock layout that refl ects years of planning based Armando Eason Robert Jones Deb Robinson on all of our on-the-water cycles. The new marina will also bring us up to code Berkeley Green Eric Josenhans Kirk Schuler for water, fi re, and electrical. 2016 will see an architectural fi rm design our new Debbie Dunne Karen Prioleau Ernie Schultz Maritime Training Center across Coast Highway from our current facility. The two Paul Prioleau facilities will be connected by a pedestrian bridge.

We teach boating the old fashion way and nothing beats time on the water when it comes to learning how to sail, or how to operate a powerboat. Our goal with any class is to teach you the skills neces- sary for you to become a safe and confi dent boater. We are proud to be a US Sailing and US Powerboating certifi cation school and the certifi cations are a nice addition to our standard sailing and powerboat courses. Not everyone desires a certifi cation and for some the prospect of being evaluated takes the fun out of being on the water, but for others it’s a nice way to round out the training and with each level of certifi cation you move closer to be able to bareboat charter at boating destinations around the world. Our in-house certifi cation is for OCC rental purposes only, but if you can pass the OCC SA skipper test you can pass the US Sailing Basic Keelboat Certifi cation test. 4 2016 SCHEDULE You decide on the schedule. A private lesson is a great option when our schedule does not fi t yours. Per- haps you prefer one-on-one instruction, need to make up a missed session, or practice specifi c skills.
