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; four hours for the first three, and three hours for the final day. Each class is three students, led by an onboard instructor. After you register, you’ll be mailed your included copy of ASA’s new text Sailing Made Easy. On your first day you’ll also receive an ASA Official Logbook. ASA-101 Certification is available to members of the ASA who successfully complete the course. If you’re not yet a member, you can join the ASA at the completion of the course as well.
Cost: $545 per person.
Includes an Associate Membership with the St. Croix Sailing Club.
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.
Registration will be available in Mid-May.
