D Qualifications

 

The D Qualification was revamped by the Director of Navy Sailing in 2003.  This page provides the description of the D-Quals and the requirements.  

 

There are 2 D Quals: Cruising Skipper (D-CS) and Senior Skipper (D-SS).  D-CS does not carry an AQD.  

 

Cruising Skipper: Individual qualified to command a sailing vessel in designated or coastal waters.  Qualification includes night experience and demonstrated navigation knowledge and skills.  This qualification is obtainable by a 1/C midshipmen participating in CSNTS.

 

Senior Skipper remains the old D Qual that you may be familiar with.  The major difference between the two is celestial navigation and offshore experience & time.  Exact details of time difference is contained in the PQS book.
