Item Description
This course is not “Sailing Lite” -- it’s the real deal!
Tradewinds Sailing School has a program for sailors at any level who are serious about gaining the foundation knowledge of sailing and continuing on to become a competent sailor.
The Basic Keelboat (ASA 101) is a three-day, 9am to 5pm course, with three students and one instructor aboard. The winning bidder will be paired with 2 other students from the sailing school.
Many students begin this course without first having stepped aboard a sailboat of any kind. Nonetheless, after three busy days, plus preparatory book study, those same students may expect to attain this competency: Able to sail a boat of about 20 feet in length in light to moderate wind and sea conditions in familiar waters without supervision.
About 20% of the course is spent in the classroom and the balance is taught aboard your Capri 22 sloop. New skills are introduced sequentially and continuously reinforced. This layering of knowledge allows students to gain and maintain confidence with each new skill.
