This experience is made possible by Cruisers Academy, an offshore sailing school which offers sailing fundamentals courses in Lake Tahoe in the summers, and live-aboard cruising courses in Mexico in the winters.
THE SAILBOAT
SV Lintika is Cruisers Academy's 1980 Passport 42', an incredibly well built and beautiful boat made in Taiwan by the reputable Passport Yachts. This classic sailboat, designed by Stan Huntingford, has gotten a massive refit over the last several years and is as modernized as they come. As a cutter rigged sloop with a fin keel and skegged rudder, her canoe stern and additional sail set up allows her to sail incredibly close to the wind while her 20 tons keep her comfortable downwind and in heavy conditions.
Equipped with a new Yanmar 54hp engine, a Cruiser RO Zen 100 water maker, new holding tanks for both fuel and water, new rigging and sails, new interior cushions and bedding, a new arch with 820 watts of solar and 810 amp hours of lithium batteries- she is set to sail offshore and chomping at the bit to cruise the Sea of Cortez!​ She is also kitted out for optimum safety at sea with satphone capabilities, star link internet, a 6 person life raft, a MOM-8 device, EPIRB, AIS and brand new radar.

THE CAPTAIN
Captain Jon Totten was born and raised in Wisconsin where fell in love with the great outdoors as a young boy. He headed west to Idaho at the age of 18 in search of a higher education and a career in the wilderness. Idaho’s vast mountains, rivers, and lakes didn’t let him down. Upon graduation from the University of Idaho, Jon became a professional outdoor educator with the North Idaho College Outdoor Pursuits program where he spent 12 years leading countless adventures and falling deeply in love with sailing. Jon would eventually earn his USCG Captain’s license and leave college to work as a professional sailor, piloting boats in the San Juan Islands of Washington state and throughout the Caribbean Sea. Jon has returned to North Idaho and created a non-profit named 'Dogsmile Adventures,' an organization offering therapeutic sailing opportunities for EVERYONE!
