Basic Keelboat (ASA 101) Certification
2 for 1 tuition for 2 day course Regular Tuition $425pp; Savings $425 Basic Keelboat Certification
Learn to sail on IC24s (converted J24s). These boats are fun to sail, go well in both light and heavier breezes and are easily handled by two people. It is tiller steered as opposed to wheel steered which greatly enhances the boat's reaction time to a person's movement of the tiller. This is of paramount importance when learning how to sail, i.e. the faster a boat reacts to your action, the quicker you will know that what you did was correct.
