Green cruises
Everybody,
A friend of mine whose into sailboats and has time on his hands wants to start up some sort of little sailboat charter business for the spring/summer/fall season but with little sailboats and no motors. He's not a mechanic and doesn't want to mess with motors. I can't blame him one lick. I told him he could probably cash in on the "green" movement since sailboats have no impact on the environment as long as they don't have a motor. Another thing is little sailboats without a motor don't have to be registered and they have positive flotation. Safe for adults and children. If you were going to get a fleet of say a half-dozen boats to start with what brand and size boat would be safest and hold up well for sailing lessons and day charters. Probably slow and stable would be preferable over fast and unstable. Something suitable for novices. If he gave lessons would he be required to get one of those Coast Guard licenses? What if he didn't go out on the boats but just gave lessons on the land or wading around in the water? He does drugs too so he probably wouldn't be able to get a teaching license anyway if he was truthful on his application. Is there a sailing instructor course that doesn't require drug testing? Opinions appreciated. Capt. J.E. Ganz |
