Basic Keelboat (ASA 101) | Private Instruction
Our Basic Keelboat sailing course prepares you for a lifetime of sailing. With an emphasis on learning through experience, we teach you practical skills that enable control and confidence on the water. You will be at the helm on the morning of your first class, and in command of the boat through all of the fundamental maneuvers by the next afternoon. Finish off by testing for your ASA Basic Keelboat Certification. This course includes all course materials and ASA Sailing Log Book.
