It all started with ‘Winds of Change’ when we were asked by Dr. Sophia to help find a suitable boat to carry out the circumnavigation of Cyprus.
We succeeded and delivered it to Larnaca and their epic journey began.
This led to enquiries about providing a boat for regular sailing training and from that ‘Sail Cyprus’ was developed.
Capt. Chris’s training is unique in that he focuses on helping you achieve your personal sailing goals. Training is limited to at most 3 students, meaning that each student receives instruction needed to become competent – tailored to each students goals and past experience. Your training time is condensed by adopting this personalised approach.
We partner with NauticEd because of NauticEd’s commitment to U.S. and International standards as well as a shared training philosophy that’s focused on student goals and competency – gained from knowledge, skills, and experience. With best-of-class multimedia online courses, professional sailing relationships around the world, and standards that exceed USGC requirements: we partnered with NauticEd to offer our students the best resources and global community available in modern sailing.
Contact Captain Chris to discuss your sailing goals, past training and experience – so that Captain Chris can tailor the training to you.
Online knowledge-theory courses have been proven in education and business to be more effective than traditional means, and NauticEd’s online courses are best-in-class in sailing. A big advantage is that you can begin immediately, giving you more time to prepare and most importantly more time to train practical sailing skills with Captain Chris.
Captain Chris’s on-the-water training is focused on the application of knowledge-theory and skills building. The training is unique in that Captain Chris only works with up to 3 students at once (typically 1-2), which gives each student not only personalized attention but hands-on sailing experience in a variety of roles and responsibilities.
Certification is optional and includes a thorough assessment of the students skills, safety and overall competence for each level – using a Rubrics system that keeps the assessment transparent and objective. Typically Captain Chris assesses during the training and while instructing, but students can request to be assessed separately for any certification.
