What do you want to know? Where are you located?

If you're in the US, at a minimum, you'll need a sailing instructor
certification (ASA or US Sailing) and a USCG Master's LIcense ( or OUPV,
commonly called the "Six Pack"). You'll also need to be enrolled in a Drug
Screening program, which may be provided by your employer or you may need to
get it on your own. I've been a member of the American Professional
Captain's Association, and that membership includes their drug screening
program. You may also want to investigate liability and/or license
insurance, if this is not provided by your employer.

As for skills, you should be able to thread the eye of a needle with any
boat, have the patience of a saint, and tie a carrack bend behind your back
blindfolded... ;-)

Hope this helps,

Paul

I'm looking for a mentor and/or feedback from other sailing instructors on
what it takes to reach this goal.
