If your boat — whether power or sail — has a diesel engine, you'd do yourself and your boat a favor by taking a diesel maintenance course at Mack Boring down in Union, New Jersey. You'll learn more in their one-day course (and even more than that in their two-dayer) about diesels than you ever thought you knew. And in the two-dayer, you'll actually get to take engines apart.
Larry Berlin was the instructor when I went, and they've added another instructor, Kurt Haseloff, so if you've tried to get into a class, but haven't been able (they fill up fast), perhaps they'll be offering some more with Haseloff on board.
If you have a diesel in your boat, I consider this a mandatory class.
