How would you rank the classes easiest to hardest?
Trying to get a feel for the difficulty level of all of the classes.

Hi Phaedra! Fortunately, a lot of the courses are listed sequentially for good reason… they go in order with increasing complexity. Here are courses meant to be taken in order, and then I’ll list courses that are great additions after you take at least 101 and get some sailing time in.
101 Keelboat Sailing 1
102 Keelboat Sailing 2 (not required, but it fits here nicely)
103 Coastal Cruising
104 Bareboat Cruising
105 Coastal Navigation (often no water time — just a lot of navigation)
106 Advanced Coastal Cruising
(108 is rarely taken since it’s so advanced — Offshore Passagemaking)
Now for the “extra” courses that are oftentimes more specialized and not general sailing knowledge:
107 Celestial Navigation
110 Small Boat Sailing
114 Catamaran Cruising
116 Dinghy & Outboard Endorsement
118 Docking & Maneuvering Endorsement
119 Marine Weather Endorsement
120 Radar Endorsement
