Morse Alpha Expeditions Details
Morse Alpha Expeditions was born out of a need for quality leadership training in the recreational yachting world. Most sail-training programs focus to the essential hard skills. After years of experience in the professional maritime industry, we decided to not only cover the essentials in a Morse Alpha Expedition but also emphasize crisis management, leadership, and professionalism. These are the skills that will keep you and your crew safely working together even in a crisis situation. Our programs can cover a broad curriculum of hard skills such as sail theory, weather, technology, voyage planning, first aid at sea, engine, traditional navigation, emergency drills (MOB, drogue, fire, etc), VHF protocol, RADAR, anchoring, and more. But it doesn't stop there. We also emphasize communication and leadership, bridge resource management (BRM), maritime law and conduct, etc. Our philosophy is that even when you aren't sailing a commercial vessel, you are still bound by the same laws, weather challenges, crew dynamics, and physical forces. Therefore, recreational sailing shouldn't be taken lightly. But there is another side – we love to laugh, bake cookies on cold days, dip in the ocean, and have fun. On a Morse Alpha Expedition you might be woken in the middle of the night to stand anchor watch on deck, or you might be laughing over a bowl of popcorn after a hard days work. Morse Alpha Expeditions are the perfect balance of serious training and light-hearted fun.
