basics OF keelboat sailing certification
This is the entry-level sailing course for beginner or novice sailors. Our standard format is a total of 14-16 hours, with 3-4 hours in a classroom setting and 12 hours on the water in three separate 4-hour sessions. Private or semi-private lesson formats may vary slightly, but our standard format is only 2 students per boat to ensure maximum learning outcomes. Upon successful completion of the course, you will receive the ASA Basic Keelboat Sailing Certification (ASA 101), which is taught to the ASA 101 Basic Keelboat Sailing Certification standard. You will develop basic boat handling and sailing fundamentals, including rigging and unrigging the boat, basic knots, rules of the road, points of sail, crew coordination, safety equipment, sailing in confined areas, docking under sail, local sailing considerations, outboard motors, docking under power, and general review.
What you’ll learn!
On-the-water Practical Sessions
Our practical sessions are conducted on the famous J/24 sailboats that are renowned for their responsive yet stable platform, making it easy for beginners to learn. We have a fleet of J/24's, some of which are available for rent after you have completed the course. Our focus is to keep the student count low to ensure that each student gets individual attention from the instructor. We offer several different membership programs for renting our boats on an hourly basis, and this class also includes the check-out sail required to rent our sailboats.
Certification
Upon successful completion of the course, students will receive the ASA 101 Basic Keelboard Sailing Certification, which demonstrates their ability to safely skipper a cruising sailboat. This certification is recognized by the American Sailing Association
