Block Island Community is the only US Sailing Keelboat School accredited to teach their “Basic Cruising”, “Bareboat Cruising”, and “Coastal Navigation” courses which leads to the award of a US Sailing International Proficency Certificate (IPC) which is a “Skippers License” to charter a bareboat without a professional Captain and crew anywhere in the free world. = See: Bareboat Charter Skipper Certification - US Sailing

There and Back Again: S/V Emerald's Caribbean Adventure:

After several years of preparation, the crew of S/V Emerald - a Pacific Seacraft 34 - set out for a year-long adventure from northern Maine to the southern Caribbean. The crew included the famous Jeff Benagh (Christine C./CD30) and infamous John Ring (Tiara/CD36). The trip included 3000nm of blue-water passage-making with weather, mechanical, and medical challenges. Emerald visited many islands in the Caribbean, and we'll share some of our favorites. We'll also talk about the reality of living aboard a small boat.
