Basic Keelboat Challenge
Sailors who are interested in earning ASA Basic Keelboat Certification and believe they already have the skills covered in ASA 101 may "challenge" - or test out of - the course. This challenge is a three hour session that includes a short on the water test and a written test. Students who pass this course may continue on to Coastal Cruising (ASA 103)
