ASA 101: Basic Keelboat
Taking the first steps into sailing can seem daunting. Everyone seems to be speaking in a foreign language and there are ropes everywhere. This Basic Keelboat course is the perfect place to start if you have never sailed before and are keen to learn.
The Basic Keelboat course focuses mainly on learning practical sailing skills in a safe but fun environment. In addition you will learn a lot of new terminology, including parts of the boat and sails and what they do, as well as some basic navigation rules and master a few simple knots.
At the end
of the course you
will be able to sail a small boat in light to moderate winds and sea
conditions in familiar waters without supervision or act as a
competent crew member on a larger yacht.
Absolutely no previous experience is required.
