This is where Ordinary Sailors stop being crew and become confident skippers.
Most sailors feel quietly stuck — crewing on other people’s boats, waiting for invites, and never feeling “ready” to take the helm.
Even after RYA courses or tons of sailing, the same doubts show up:
👉 Not sure what the next step is
👉 Nervous leaving local waters
👉 Afraid to take longer passages
👉 Unsure they can trust their judgment
That’s why I created The Ordinary Sailors.
Not to replace courses, books, or miles — but to give sailors the clarity and support they need on their journey from crew to skipper.
Here’s how we do it:
⚓️ Practical support from instructors, experts & other sailors
⚓️ A friendly anti-elitist crew to grow with.
⚓️ A place to ask questions without fear of judgement
⚓️ Stories, lessons, mistakes, and wins from sailors just like you
Together, we level up one skill, one passage, one win at a time.
No BS. Just a crew that has your back.
