There is no better place to go for advanced course conditions like the Grenadines (St. Vincent or Grenada). Take a look at Wind Guru. We have consistent winds and weather. In ADDITION we have a warm climate and warm water in a tropical location! In most areas you would have to find these conditions in the cold, miserable months of fall or winter. Why would you do that? The Grenadines are only 12 degrees north of the equator! That is really close. Which means it’s about 80 degrees F (20 degrees C.) all the time! We are right in the path of the easterly Trade winds. Which means we have wind ALL THE TIME! All this equals an excellent location for sailing and having fun – whenever! Challenge yourself and advance your skills as a sailor by taking the ASA 105/106 Advanced Coastal Cruising courses!
