DELMARVA Circumnavigation Training Cruise

Circumnavigating the DMVA peninsula is a 450-mile cruise that many intermediate sailors consider as a rite of passage before turning perpendicular to the coastline to do a serious blue water cruise. This cruise includes a variety of challenges for the aspiring cruising sailor including nighttime transits in the restricted waters of Chesapeake Bay and open waters of the Atlantic Ocean while contending with navigation, watch keeping, ship traffic, fishing vessels, shoaling, crab pots, a variety of weather conditions including sun, rain, strong winds and no wind, plus squalls and lightning, and much more. The Maryland School has completed more than 100 DMVA training cruises over the past many years and has developed a training regimen that progresses a student from a bay-sailor to a near-coastal ocean sailor.
