Keelboat is taught by ASA-certified instructors at Shorewood
Yacht Club on Lake Minnetonka. Qualified graduates will become
charter certified for day sailing on 22-25' keelboats.
Northern Breezes Sailing School and
Shorewood Yacht Club together offer you a terrific Learn
to Sail Program with the combination of the finest school and a
superb fleet of 23' to 26' cabin sailboats located at Shorewood Yacht
Club, just minutes west of Excelsior on beautiful Lake Minnetonka
near the intersection of Highway 7 and County Road 19.
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 weekday evenings, weekday
afternoons or weekends for
three or four-hours. 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, getting underway, sailing exercises and ends
with docking and securing the boat.
Each student will receive the Sailing Fundamentals book and
video/DVD, Federal Regulations booklet, Log Book and Pre-Test.
