Welcome to the Macro Program at the Boston Sailing Center! This student information sheet is designed to assist you in utilizing your 45-day free student membership. Please refer to your confirmation email and bostonsailingcenter.com for a list of courses and other information regarding your program.
45-Day Student Membership
The purpose of the 45-Day Student Membership is to allow students to practice the skills they are learning in their courses. We have found that students who take advantage to practice while learning, whether as crew or skipper, usually learn more effectively.
The structure of the Student Membership varies among the different Macro courses. The charts below outline the duration, type of membership, commencement of membership, and any restrictions that may apply. Each student membership requires an active card on file and a signed student membership agreement which will be issued upon successful graduation.
Notes:
- Student Members may crew with Boston Sailing Center at any point during the Macro program, but will have access to the online crew finder when their memberships are active.
- Single handed sailing is not permitted at any level of a student membership. You must sail with at least one other crew member.
- Student members must sign a student membership agreement for each level of membership and have an active card on file to start student membership.
Full student membership rules are found in the student memberships agreements which are issued upon graduation. If you would like to see them earlier, please let us know and we will send you the links.
