Lots of learning & loads of fun!

Four guys and a lady joined us for their RYA Yachtmaster Offshore course.

They will be with us for a bit over 3 months. All training starts off in the protected waters of the Langebaan Lagoon and progresses out to sea from there.

This week we concentrated on the foundation of practical sailing in our Comp Crew module.
Well done to the crew, who all ended off the week looking very strong!

How do you know if you a pirate? You just AAARRRRHHHH!

Our mixed group of RYA/MCA Yachtmaster Offshore and Coastal students just finished off their course and exams! A Sail Due South celebration was in order ... and the theme was Pirates - the fun type.

The guys finally got to 'walk the plank' and sign the crew house 'Wall of Fame'! Well done to all of you and we look forward to following your success in the industry.
​
Thank you all for joining Sail Due South; we all worked hard, sailed hard and had an amazing adventure!

Best of luck for the final exam boys!!

Congrats to Shane (Director/Principal) and Jan (Yachtmaster Instructor) achieved RYA Power Boat Level 2 Instructor Status.

Well done guys!

Rienet van der Merwe is exactly the kind of skipper you want on your charter!

After successfully completing her 14 Week Fast Track  Yachtmaster Ocean Course with
Sail Due South she landed a crew position on board a delivery through one of our contacts.

Rienet sailed across  the Atlantic Ocean on an adventure of a life-time!

Once that was successfully completed we hooked her up with our Partners; Quarterdeck, and she
spent the Med Season working as a skipper on board some of the biggest Flotillas in the world!

Well done Rienet! We know you will have many more adventures and opportunities in the 
Yachting Industry!

Al Schaeffer was in the "Ballies vs Lighties" group with us earlier this year where he completed his
RYA Yachtmaster Offshore. 
We had so much fun with this group, the two 'Ballies' and three 'Lighties' made a formidable team!
​
Al was looking for a career change; out of the corporate world and into a more adventurous life-style in yachting. Al really lived the adventure and took in all the 'highs and lows' while working hard and sailing harder ... not to mention some good hard fun when the time was right! :-)

He was employed immediately after leaving us on a great delivery of a Catamaran along the SA coastline. He then shot over to the the Caribbean and has been working the season on another beautiful Catamaran running charters.

At Sail Due South we cater to all ages and areas of the yachting industry! Check out some pics mixed from his time at SDS and now in the Caribbean.
