Help me choose, chaps and chapesses. I've got a week free, no partner or kids. I have been considering either doing a coastal skipper course, or taking my own boat down to the Solent from Brighton. Either way I will be doing the girls only meet at the end of the week. As I see it, the advantages of a course are;a challenge, getting to sail on a reasonably decent boat, hopefully good teaching, company, going out in weather and the sort of situations I might not attempt on my own.
Disadvantages- primarily cost. I'm really broke.
Avantages of my own boat-a challenge(never taken it more than 10 minutes from Brighton on my own),cheap, I can go where I want when I want.
Disadvantages- my boat is less than luxurious, and I'd be PETRIFIED!
But my main question is, would I learn more by doing the course or going it alone?
BTW I've done YM theory so either way I'd need to brush up on that, but it's the sailing experience I haven't got.
