Offshore Sailing School - Captiva Race Week

[Apex]

Anyone going in April? Anyone been before?

I am signed up for the performance race week. It is held at south seas resort in Captiva island, FL.

Having done some racing, I am looking to gain additional perspectives and more time at various positions throughout the boat. Not cheap by any means, but a lot of on-the-water time: 6hrs/day plus 2-3hrs of classroom time.

I have stayed at that marina before, and really enjoyed it. It was immaculate and is relaxing with the pool right next to the dock. Enjoy your lessons. Please let us know what you think of their program.

I have not been to that marina, but I have been to Captiva Island. It's pretty ritzy. The Mucky Duck beach bar has a nice atmosphere and good food.

We used to trailer our Rhodes 22 from Atlanta, then later from Savannah down to Punts Gorda then sail it to South Seas. For about $50 a night we could stay at the marina and enjoy all the amenities. Best was the sunsets on the beach. That is a wonderful place!

You’ll have an absolute blast and learn tons. Nothing like OTW race clinics. The North instructors are the best and love doing this week. My friends say it’s kinda like a working vacation for them. If you run into KB, Andrew or Rod, say HI from me.
