Prerequisites:

None –

ASA 101 Ocean Sailing Basics is the first step and no previous experience or knowledge is required.

ASA 101 course objectives:

The successful ASA 101+ Ocean Sailing Basics student will be able to sail a 36′ boat in light to moderate winds and sea conditions in the open ocean. A graduate will master all points of sail and all fundamental maneuvers as skipper and as crew. There is major (major, major) emphasis on getting underway and docking.

An economy sailboat charter trip to Anacapa must include a visit to the lighthouse and Arch Rock — Learn to sail on an adult-size boat

If you’ve never skippered a boat, this is the place to start. If it doesn’t work out for you – you get seasick for instance – you’re not locked in.

Duration:

Rank beginners typically require five or six lessons, approximately 20 hours. I’m happy to train two or three at a time. The fee for extra crew is $100/person/session, maximum of three students.

Fees:

$580/lesson Monday to Thursday

$678/lesson Fri-Sat-Sunday

Add a second or third student for $100/session.
