Basic Sailing (ASA 101) "Liveaboard" Weekend Class
All our classes are sleepaboard in the islands with all meals included!
(9AM Saturday, overnight to 5PM Sunday)
Learn the fundamentals of sailing a 30 to 40 foot sailboat. All instruction takes place on the boat and with only four students per class you'll have plenty of time at the helm and hands-on sailing. Learn sailing terminology, what makes a sailboat go, points of sail, basic knots, boating safety, "rules of the road" on the water, and docking. And, experience the cruising life while staying aboard your boat at an anchorage in the San Juan Islands!
There will be both a written and a skills test to complete the course. Thorough study of the text, Sailing Made Easy, by ASA, will prepare you for your course and greatly enhance your learning experience. The Basic Sailing (ASA 101) curriculum (see link below) is helpful to follow while reviewing the text and will streamline your studying.
