ISSA Multihull Courses

The ISSA Multihull is a sailing course for beginners to catamarans and trimarans.  Sail in Asia own a multihull sailing Corsair 28 which is a delight to sail. Our multihull yacht is very fast and very easy to control, despite its powerful rig. Learn to sail this boat and you can handle any Catamaran or Trimaran.

Participate in an Inshore Skipper Course and you will benefit from learning to use this boat. Charter it for a period of time (perhaps a week or two and you will learn to sail the Phang Nga bay and all the islands in between. Take a skipper or instructor with you and we guarantee a fabulous trip and some useful learning skill as a result.

The ISSA Yacht Crew Course is great starter course for beginners to sailing or power boating. Our course teaches you to sail a yacht or keelboat in light to moderate boating conditions on all points of sail. The course is 90% practical and 10% theoretical.

ISSA VHF Radio Course

VHF Radio is a very important safey net system that marine craft use every day.  The basic vhf radio is now updated with a DSC VHF Radio that is able to send either analogue or digital radio transmissions. The VHF Radio Course is a yachts main safety system as it is possible to use in many situations that a mobile telephone would not!  Consequently the radio is marinised  (weather proofed) and thus rugged and reliable.

The course covers all aspects of use.  Simple communications, professional channels, Channel 16, ship to ship channels and of course the Emergency and Urgency channel 16.  Students learn to send messages that are normal and routine from yacht to yacht ,right thru to sending Mayday Relays, to other vessels, or coastguards.  The VHF radio course is assessed by a one hour exam and by a course handbook with assessments and exercises.

Inshore Skipper – ISSA Multihull Yacht Course

The Inshore Skipper ISSA Multihull course is a 10 day course that includes VHF Radio, Inshore Skipper 1 and Inshore Skipper 2.  We generally run this ten day course after students have done their ISSA Yacht Crew Course (4 days).  We strongly recommend that you do the Yacht Crew Course if you have learned to sail some time ago and or if you come from dinghy sailing.  Yachts and Multihulls require similar skills, and the Inshore Skipper 10 day course requires that you know how to sail in all directions, that you can reef, heave to, moor a yacht, come alongside and anchor.  The 10 days is spent learning navigation, meteorology, yacht management, engines, safety and a whole gamut of extra things which ensure you are a good learner skipper at course end. The Multihull course can be taken on a multihull throughout, but our strong recommendation is you complete the course on a range of vessels. The Zero to Hero Course includes all the above courses but also a 4 day  Yacht Crew Course and is exceptionally well priced!

Sail in Asia believe in giving you skills, knowledge, sail training and most important the language to direct the crew in boat handling and to keep the crew safe!  Making you autonomous is our aim! Ensuring you are confident is our objective.  Having fun on the course guarantees your enjoyment and ability to learn quickly. Learning the skills means happy sailors and well trained sailors!  The ISSA Inshore Skipper Course is designed for Yachts, Multihulls and Keelboats.  At SIA you will become proficient on Yachts, Keelboats and Multihulls. We have 12 vessels that fit these categories.
