ASA-101 is a beginner course for adult sailors with no previous experience, taught by certified American Sailing Association instructors. The boats used for ASA-101 are weighted-keel sloop-rigged sailboats, at 22 feet in length. After your ASA-101 certification, you’ll know what all of that means. For now, just know that they are very stable and safe and perfect for someone with no experience. This is the best course for any adult interested in sailing. By the end of the course you’ll be able to comfortably sail your own vessel up to 27′ in length, or serve as crew on a sailing vessel.
Each class meets for four sessions; 3 or 4 hours each day, with a test at the conclusion of the final day. Each class is three students, led by an onboard instructor. All students must bring a copy of ASA’s text “Sailing Made Easy” which is available from the American Sailing Association’s website at https://store.asa.com/asa-101-sailing-made-easy-textbook/. Please review the textbook prior to your lesson.
Included with your registration are:
- A membership with the American Sailing Association
- Official ASA Logbook
- ASA-101 certification for those who successfully complete the course
- An Associate membership with the St. Croix Sailing Club
Students must be at least 18 years of age.
There is a weight limit of 250lbs per person for this class. Our goal is to add an adaptive sailing program so everyone can enjoy the sport of sailing.
Students must also bring appropriate gear and clothing for sailing: a life-jacket, non-marking shoes, sailing gloves (suggested), and to dress for the weather. A more detailed list will be provided by your instructor.
Additional dates are expected to be added in mid-May for classes in July.
