Hello
I am interested in getting my Class Two Boating License in Japan. I have a little bit of experience sailing a 26 ft sloop and quite a bit of sailing time in a Laser.
I live in Aichi and my Japanese language skill is not so good so would like to take a course in English. Could you let me know the times of your courses, the location and the fees?
Thank you
Lowell Sheppard

Hello, I am interested in taking a course which will give me some experience to skipper a sailboat and get a licence.
