BUY A VIDEO COURSE AND GET A CHANCE TO WIN A SAILBOAT!

This is a Albin Accent sailboat, and we bought her as a prize for those who bought the "Captain Your Own Sailboat" video course package.

A sailboat draw will take place in ! And you can still become a participant!

To participate, you need to buy the package “Captain of your own sailboat”.

So far, there are 620 participants.

Sea class sailboat
Length 8 meters, width 2.8 meters
Water reserve of 60 liters + can be expanded
Kitchen and toilet are available
Ceiling height of 1.8 meters
Plastic in good condition
Inboard engine
Sails in good condition (managed from cockpit)
Maintenance doesn't require much money
Draw will be held on 30/11/2024
This particular yacht will be raffled off, it's already been purchased

Albin Accent is already quite a large yacht, very wide and due to it you feel comfortable.
The kitchen along the side will make you feel like you are home. There are all the elements of a large cruising yacht: inboard engine, anchor box, practically separate toilet (closed with a common door), water reserve, fridge, heater, etc.

After purchase, you will receive access to the course, and you will also be entered into a sailboat draw!
Why am I doing this?
According to the research I have done, such a prize greatly increases the effectiveness of my advertising campaigns. Such a solution can improve my sales.
Result
By purchasing my video course, you get a chance to win a small sailboat, perfect as your first sailboat. We already bought this one, and she’s waiting to be raffled off now.
In 2023 and 2024 we raffled off 3 small sailboats and we loved the experience!

1
Small Sailboats:
Optimal for traveling along the coast. Occasional sea crossings of up to 7 days

Mid-sized Sailboats:
A great combination of comfort and maintenance cost. Comfort is significantly higher compared to smaller sailboats.

ANSWERS TO YOUR QUESTIONS
I've tried to answer all the questions you might have now
What's included in the "Captain of Your OWN Sailboat" video course?

The course includes all the essential knowledge for sailboat handling (a program similar to RYA or IYT, but more focused on practical skills). You'll also gain knowledge and experience in purchasing and maintaining a sailboat. I'm preparing you to own a sailboat, not just to charter one.

The course is made up of short videos, with a separate clip for each topic. This is done for easy understanding. So you can always come back to the topic you're interested in, watch a 5-15 minute video, and refresh your memory.

420 videos are already available. We will continue to update the course and regularly add new topics.

The list of topics can be found on this website.

By purchasing the course, can I really be entered into a prize draw for a yacht?

Yes, by buying the course and filling out the form, you can win Leisure 23SL sailboat, we already bought it to raffle off among those who bought the package “Captain of Your Own Sailboat”.

Draw will be held on 30/11/2024

To participate, you need to buy the package “Captain of your own sailboat”.

So far, there are 620 participants.

How will the winner of the sailboat drawing be determined?

Randomly among people who have bought my video course "Captain of Your Own Sailboat" and left an application for the drawing of a sailboat. The drawing process will be demonstrated on social media (live or in video format).

We will also record a separate video with the winner when we meet for passing the sailboat.

By what date do I need to buy the video course to enter the sailboat drawing?

I reserve the right to close entries for the drawing at any time, but at the moment you can take part, it's better to buy the package now and not put it off until later as I can shut down the possibility.

How will ownership be transferred after the sailboat drawing?

You and I will make a contract of sale, in which will be written some nominal amount (for example, 1000 euros), and make an act of transfer, as if you gave me this amount. Or we can make a deed of gift, as you prefer, it is not important to me.

How soon will I need to arrive? What if I can't pick up the boat?

The sooner the better, you need to arrive within a week after the raffle dates and pick up the boat. We will need time for some practice and a brief instruction on your questions.

If you refuse to pick up the boat — we'll just pick the next winner at random and they'll come and pick it up. It's not a big deal.

What expenses will await the person who wins the sailboat?

You will need to register the boat (it’s up to you, I will tell you what options are available), most likely third party liability insurance (about 100 euros per year), pay for winter mooring. For example, in Estonia, the mooring fee for the whole winter will cost about 200 euros (not per month, but for the whole season!).

It may be necessary to buy something else, some things, clothes, equipment, etc. I suggest to have a few thousand euros in reserve to feel comfortable.

Whether it is possible to deliver the sailboat I won to a certain city or country?

No, I will pass the boat to you in the Stockholm area and then you will have to ferry it yourself.

Why are you doing this? Why would you gift sailboats?

I want people who buy my course and book to have the opportunity to own a boat, even if they don't have the financial ability right now. It's also a great bonus that increases the attractiveness of my course and book offer, which means it should theoretically be profitable for me :)

I gift a sailboat because it's nice for everyone and profitable for everyone! :)

What's the secret bonus?

It's a pleasant surprise for those who've bought the package, you'll find out after you make the purchase ;)

What is the "Captain of Your Own Sailboat" video course focused on. How does it differ from IYT and RYA courses?

The course is aimed at giving all information about owning a sailboat of 7-15 meters. These are the yachts that I show you on social networks.

Most schools teach with the expectation that you will charter a yacht. Also, the handling of a small sailboat is somewhat different from the large yachts on which they train in schools. For example, setting and adjusting the sails is done a little differently, and the moorings are also slightly different.

These are the insights that most schools don't provide!

In my opinion, after my course you will be better prepared to own and sail both small and large yachts. This is not self-promotion, but my reference point. I make a product for specific purposes, narrower than those of sailing schools. This course is specifically for members of our community, with all the nuances we require.

What if I want to get an IYT or similar certificate?

You can do an internship at any school based on this theory, i.e. all you need is practice.

Is video course “Captain of your OWN Sailboat” already ready?

420 videos are already available. We will continue to update the course and regularly add new topics.

The list of topics can be found on this website.

What is the book “Buying a Sailboat from A to Z” about?

The book gives step-by-step instructions on how to buy an inexpensive but good yacht in Europe. The topic is covered from A to Z. Also, the book tells how to prepare the yacht for the voyage quickly and take the boat from Sweden to the Mediterranean.

You can check out the list of topics of the book here.

Is the book in paper form or digital format?

The book is digital, and it works on any device with a browser, both online and offline (after the first download). Since the book is in electronic format, you get it instantly, and I can update and add new topics (which I do all the time).

What if I've already read your book?

Check your email, there's a special offer for readers. If you haven't received this offer — contact me on social media or by email.

How can I get help with buying a sailboat?

Just message me on social media, tell me about your situation. I'll do my best to help.

How can I buy the whole package?

Just click the “Buy” button, then enter your e-mail in the form, click “Buy”, pay, and access will be sent to your e-mail.

Why is it worth buying the package, even if it is not possible to buy a sailboat now due to financial considerations?

You have to walk towards your dream, even if you walk slowly, even if you crawl. If you can't crawl, you have to lie down in the direction of your dream. In this case, you take the first step, it is usually the most difficult, and then life usually presents us with different options, different opportunities.

One of these opportunities is to win a sailboat, which is quite possible, but not the only one. Life offers many chances, so by taking the first step, you'll start to see where to take the second step, then the third, and so on.

Now's your chance to take the first step, will you do it?

What languages are the video course and book available in?

The course and book are translated into: Dansk, Deutsch, Eesti, English, Español, Français, Hrvatski, Italiano, Latviešu, Lietuvių, Magyar, Nederlands, Norsk, Polski, Português, Română, Slovenčina, Suomi, Svenska, Türkçe, Čeština, Ελληνικά, Български, Русский, Українська, العربية, 中文, 日本語, 한국어. There are also subtitles available in all the listed languages.

I've detailed all the benefits of my product very thoroughly, so I won't repeat myself. The only question left is: what's best for you? Do you think this purchase will bring you closer to your dream?

In matters of putting off "for later", I usually convert the rest of my life until age 60 into days, and I end up with less than 10,000 days left. As a result, I quite often decide that it’s better to do it and regret it than not to do it and regret not doing it :)

Ask yourself honestly, what's better for you, and make a decision!
