Additional details

The LISC is designed to be a sea experience, a cultural experience, and a life experience. Do not bring expectations – if you do, you will be disappointed. The forces of nature do not bend to your will, but with experience and training, you will learn to work with them to challenge yourself to new heights, make lifelong friendships, and experience the world as only a few people can imagine. You can learn to sail in just a few days, but true seamanship takes years to develop and lifetimes to master. You’ll be exhausted, you’ll push past your limits, you’ll learn more than you ever expected, and you’ll have the adventure of a lifetime aboard S/V Labora. This is not a charter boat where the work will be done for you nor is it a summertime cruise where you won’t find any challenge. Instead, the Liberty International Sailing Club is a serious, hands-on training opportunity for novice and experienced sailors looking to learn all that expedition sailing requires.
