CHARTER YACHT (Your choice):
1. A 40'-50' monohull-beautiful teak interior and a quick turn of speed. She is a contemporary
performance-oriented cruiser that delivers superb handling under both power and sail. The interior features up
to five separate cabins, each with their own head and shower, huge galley, Nav station and comfortable main
salon. GPS, autopilot, cabin heater, refrigeration, stereo and roller furling are just some of the amenities. She
will accommodate up to eight plus an instructor.
2. The Venezia 42 Catamaran: Fast, comfortable, and spacious are the trademarks of this exciting Catamaran.
She boasts four private double staterooms with two private baths and she does not heel. ASA Cruising
Multihull certification can be achieved.

This is a FLOTILLA CRUISE. You have two choices:
1. Come on Mike's boat for instruction. Mike will also be leading and guiding the flotilla, showing you where to
go.
2. If you are ASA or US Sailing Certified through Bareboat Chartering, you can charter your own yacht (this
must be arranged by PSSI), but you will have the comfort and security of going along with Mike, who will be
available for guidance and consultation. Your cost is the charter of the yacht plus a $350 flotilla fee paid to
PSSI.

80,000 nautical miles and taught thousands to sail and navigate. He is Coast Guard licensed, an ASA certified

Instructor of the Year six times. Joining Mike will be Bruce Cunningham, ASA and PSSI instructor and owner
