About Grant Headifen

My vision for NauticEd is to ensure that families and friends get out on the water not only safely but with true COMPETENCE, confidently savoring every moment of their valuable time.

Achieving this means being the pinnacle of sailing and boating education—offering comprehensive multi-media theoretical instruction coupled with hands-on, on-the-water training through our global network of American National Standards Instructors. We steadfastly avoid becoming a mere certification mill; our focus is on delivering genuine competence, ensuring our students are well-prepared for enjoyable, real-world boating experiences.

Potty Talk and Ying and Yang

September 1, 2017/by Grant Headifen

It’s a sh*ty job but someone has to do it. On our Beneteau 373 sailboat, we have a Jabsco quiet flush electric marine toilet. Thanks go out to Jabsco for doing such a great job on putting together a comprehensive set of videos to service their marine toilets. A few weeks ago I posted this […]

Number 1 Sailing Vacation Spot in the World

June 20, 2017/by Grant Headifen

We went sailing in the Aeolian Islands, Sicily last week with Spartivento Yacht Charter Company. We’ve been fortunate to sail in just about every sailing vacation destination in the world and so people always ask me where is the best place. Until now, I have always responded with “each one is a 10”. But after visiting Sicily last week, I have to say: hands down, without a doubt, we are now rating the Aeolian Islands in Sicily as the number one best place on planet earth to take a sailing vacation.
