International Certificate Of Competence (Icc: Fill & Download for Free

The question is which law of which country, which will then ask as to the size of your vessel and so on.An International Certificate of Competency allows you to sail in many places in Europe particularly assuming your vessel is under 15 metres LOA.To sail a boat in Norway you need an ICC or a Norwegian certificate of competency if you are born after 1st January 1980.When you ask questions about law and certification, you need to be more specific. There are many other factors that will influence the answer to this question such as the vessel’s flag state, the state the vessel is plying in, tonnage (tonnage has nothing to do with mass or weight but rather volume) and so on.

ICC (international certificate of competence) is not a license, but it does indicate some training in sailboat handling and navigation. It is required in some places to charter a boat, but I doubt that it would help in college acceptance any more than any other extracurricular activity. I don’t think a USCG License would be any more helpful than that, either.

The short answer is: somewhere close to where you live that has a large enough body of water, reliable, reasonable wind, suitable vessels and someone willing and able to teach you.That might be the local reservoir, a sheltered bay or the ocean. It might be in something as small as an Optimistor as large as a yachtThe best/main thing is to get on the water and learn.I'd personally recommend learning to sail a dinghy before stepping up to a keelboat as it'll teach you a few good lessons very quickly, i.e. you'll get wet a lot when it goes wrong.The slightly longer answer depends on a number of factors such as the type of craft you want to sail in, the environment you want to do it in, what your ultimate goals are and where you're coming from.I was lucky enough to first learn to sail in Croatia and so when I got wet it was in the beautifully warm Med. The scenery was pretty spectacular too. I didn't consciously choose to learn there (it was to stop me getting bored lying on the beach) and if I'd made a conscious decision to learn it would likely have been in a different place.For example, the Mediterranean is a terrible place to learn about tides - there aren't any (to speak of). If you wanted to pick up your International Certificate of Competence (ICC) then you'd have to do your sailing outside of the Med; the northern European costs are perfect, as I would imagine are the coasts of N America.The Solent is a very good place to learn. It's tidal - an incredibly important lesson; there are more sailing schools than you could shake a stick - including a number of schools that are properly world-class; every type of craft is available - Optimist to Ocean Clipper; it's busy - so you're always aware of other craft and your boat handling is top notch; it gets very variable conditions - you're not going to wonder what it's in choppy seas with a F6 blowing over the top.Similarly the north coast of Brittany has some of the best, most challenging sailing in the world. How do you fancy a 14 m tidal range? There's some incredible learning just in that. The Côtes-d'Armor and Finistere are beautiful and, as the former's name suggest, strewn with rocks to keep you on your toes.The west coast of Scotland has stunning scenery, more distilleries than your liver will/can appreciate and tides and rips between the islands that will spin your boat around and in places could suck you to the seabed (Corryvrecken).In summary, the long answer is, there is no single place that it's best to learn in it's best if you learn to sail in a great many places, on a number of different craft, that will each teach you something new.
