Northern Breezes Sailing School

Basic Keelboat is taught by ASA-certified instructors on Lake Minnetonka, White Bear Lake, and Medicine Lake around Minneapolis/St.Paul, MN; on Leech Lake in Walker, MN; on Lake Superior near Bayfield, WI; and on Pentwater Lake, MI. Qualified graduates will become charter certified for day sailing on 22'-25' keelboats.

Northern Breezes Sailing School is offering you a terrific Learn to Sail Program featuring a combination of the finest school and a superb Capri 22' sailboat located at Snug Harbor Marina on beautiful Pentwater Lake located in Pentwater, Michigan.

This is a three-session, 12-hour course taught by Northern Breezes Sailing School instructors certified by the American Sailing Association (ASA). Classes meet over a three day period and are offered on weekends with a Friday through Sunday format and there are also midweek classes. All classes are limited to three 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 and getting underway and ends with docking and securing the boat.

Each student will receive the book and DVD, Sailing Fundamentals, Federal Regulations, Log Book and Pre-Test.
