"A sailor is an artist whose medium is the wind."

Advance your sailing skills in Hawaii

This is a three-day, two-night intermediate cruising standard designed for individuals with cruising experience who have mastered the skills contained in ASA 101 and ASA 103. You will be able to act as skipper or crew of a sloop-rigged, auxiliary-powered keelboat of approximately 30- to 45-foot sailing by day in coastal waters.

Fully-immersed sailing intensive

Participants of Bareboat Cruising (ASA104) will receive a combination of instruction and hands-on learning that covers piloting, dead reckoning, docking, system troubleshooting, maintenance, navigation, cruise planning, weather forecasts, and overnight anchoring.

Two nights will be spent on board.

Private and Small-Group Classes

This course begins with classroom instruction then quickly moves to the boat. We believe the best way to learn is by doing. You’ll get the knowledge and practice you need to feel confident at the helm. Students must be certified in ASA101 and ASA103 to participate.
