Basic Keelboat (ASA 101) - Lake
Calhoun
Northern Breezes Sailing School offers you a terrific learn-to-sail
program located on Lake
Calhoun in the heart of Minneapolis. This is a restricted motor lake
on which only
electric motors are allowed.
This is a four session, 12-hour course taught by
Northern Breezes Sailing School instructors certified by the
American Sailing Association (ASA). Classes meet weekday
evenings, for three-hours. Classes are limited to two students. This creates a
small seminar environment which provides for great skipper and
crew training. Each session starts with a briefing on the day’s
lesson, getting underway, sailing exercises and ends with
docking and securing the boat.
Each student will receive a Sailing Fundamentals textbook and DVD, Federal Regulations booklet,
ASA Log Book and Pre-Test.
Mandatory for certification, membership in ASA is also included in the
cost of the course.
