(July – September)

Sailing San Diego

NOW BOOKING FOR JULY, AUGUST AND SEPTEMBER 2020

Prerequisites: None

Description: BKB101 is a no experience necessary, basic sailing lesson that will give you the knowledge necessary to skipper a 27 ft. sailboat safely and confidently. At GoSailAZ, we believe that learning to sail can be made fun and safe for all ages. Once you register for our course, we send you some study materials and other helpful resources to give you plenty of time to cover what you will be learning over the 12 hour class. (By the way, if you haven’t already downloaded the ASA Sailing Challenge App, we highly suggest it.)

We start on day one with a brief 1-hour classroom period to discuss and answer any questions that may have come up while reading through your study materials. We then discuss what the day’s objective will be aboard the boat for the practical portion of the day’s lesson. After our classroom section we board the boat. You will learn how to safely skipper a sloop-rigged keelboat of approximately 20 to 27 feet in length by day in light to moderate winds and sea conditions. We will also teach you basic sailing terminology, parts and functions of the boat and her sails, helm commands, basic sail trim, points of sail, buoyage, seamanship and safety including basic navigation rules to avoid collisions and hazards. Auxiliary power operation is not required.

BKB101 in San Diego is a 2-day course taught Saturday and Sunday from 11am to 5pm both days. Once you have completed the course, you will take a test to see what you’ve learned throughout the lesson and receive your ASA logbook that can be used to charter sailboats anywhere in the world. Congratulations on taking the first step toward learning how to sail!

Note: The United States Coast Guard has granted approval for ASA101 Basic Keelboat Sailing to satisfy certain merchant mariner credential examination requirements and safe boating training requirements.
