Basic Keelboat - ASA Course 101
Medicine Lake, Plymouth, MN
 Basic
Keelboat is taught by ASA-certified instructors on Medicine Lake
in Plymouth, MN, aboard a 20' keelboat. Qualified graduates will become
charter certified for day sailing on 20-27' keelboats.
Northern Breezes Sailing School offers learn-to-sail classes on
Medicine Lake on our Flying Scot. This location is found west of the Twin Cities
at
French Regional Park
located right off of the intersection of I-494 and Rockford Road.
This is a three- or four-session, 12-hour course taught by Northern Breezes
Sailing School instructors certified by the American Sailing
Association (ASA). Classes meet weekday evenings, weekday
afternoons or weekends for
three or four hours. Classes are limited to three students. This
small seminar environment provides a great
instructor to student ratio for very effective 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 receives the
Sailing Made Easy textbook, video/DVD, Federal Regulations booklet and Log Book.
Upon successful completion of both the on-the-water and written
exam, the Basic Keelboat graduate receives American Sailing
Association membership (a $39 value), certificates for framing
and seals for the Log Book, and, an invitation to join the
Northern Breezes Boat Club to continue sailing without the
requirement to buy a boat; all while wearing your recently
earned "skipper's hat!"

Classes are cancelled and rescheduled due to weather: no wind,

not an endurance test. It is fun, safe learning
of a lifelong skill set. Graduates
meet all the prerequisites for more advanced courses and the Northern Breezes
Boat Club.

Family and Friends:
Basic Keelboat is offered as a Family and Friends course! If
you have family members or friends who do not want to earn
certification through the American Sailing Association (ASA) or,
who are not old enough to be certified, but would like to come
along to learn at a crew level while you are being certified,
this is the option for you! We offer 1, 2, or 3 certifications
in a 12-hour course format spread over 3 or 4 days. Up to 4
people in addition to the instructor can be on the boat for this
Family and Friends course. In certain locations we offer 4
certifications in a 15-hour course format spread over 4 or 5
days. All Family and Friends Basic Keelboat courses are
customized for the student and group's needs and schedule. This
is a great mother - daughter / father - son option. You pick the
combination!
