We recently moved up from a c-dory 24' power catamaran with twin outboards to a GB 32. We had a couple of c-dorys prior to the cat so we are not new to boating. With the GB, however, we thought that it would be a good idea to hire a captain experienced with GBs. Great choice!! The guy we hired taught us about all of the systems (engine, electrical, heater, GPS, etc). He talked to us about safety issues, anchoring, mooring, communicating with the radio, maneuvering, etc. All good stuff even if a review. But the most useful thing he taught us is how to operate as a team. How to communicate with each other as we cast off or dock. How to have a plan in various critical situations, and so on. It was money well spent. We now operate much better as a team. Much happier boating couple!
