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.
