Basic Keelboat - ASA Course 101

St Croix River: Hudson, WI & Afton, MN

Basic Keelboat is taught by ASA-certified instructors on the St Croix River in Hudson, WI and Afton, MN.  Qualified graduates will become certified for day sailing on 22-25 foot keelboats.

Northern Breezes Sailing School offers learn-to-sail classes on the scenic St Croix River in Hudson, WI, on our Hunter 23.5 and in Afton, MN, on our Catalina Capri 22. Both locations are east of the Twin Cities near the intersection of Interstate 94 and the Wisconsin border.

This is a four- or three-session, 12-hour course taught by Northern Breezes Sailing School instructors certified by the American Sailing Association (ASA). Classes meet on weekdays or weekends, mornings, afternoons or evenings for three or four-hours. Class sizes 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, getting underway, sailing exercises and ends with docking and securing the boat.

Three Rings, our Capri 22 in Afton, MNEach student will receive the Sailing Fundamentals book and video/DVD, Federal Regulations booklet, Log Book and Pre-Test.
