Basic Keelboat - ASA Course 101 - Sailor's World Marina

Basic Keelboat is taught by ASA-certified instructors at Sailor's World Marina on Lake Minnetonka. Qualified graduates will become charter certified for day sailing on 22-25' keelboats.

Northern Breezes Sailing School and Sailor's World Marina and Boat Club are together offering you a terrific Learn to Sail Program with the combination of the finest school and a superb fleet of 22' cabin sailboats located at Sailor's World, just minutes west of Wayzata on beautiful Smith's Bay, Lake Minnetonka.

This is a four-session, 12-hour course taught by Northern Breezes Sailing School instructors certified by the American Sailing Association (ASA). Classes meet evenings or weekends for three-hour sessions. 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 video/DVD, Sailing Fundamentals, Federal Regulations, Log Book and Pre-Test.
