Practice Sail Programs:
Many students do not have access to a sailboat to practice on. If you want more helm time before taking the next class, before chartering, before purchasing your own sailboat, or if it has been a while since you took your last class, our Practice Sailing Program, described below, may be what you need to turn you into a confident sailor.
Once you get ASA certified for an ASA101, ASA102, or ASA103 from Nockamixon Sailing School or Delmarva Sailing School, you can retake the same class for 50% off the Nockamixon Sailing School List price for the same class. Only students who are already certified in ASA101, ASA102, or ASA103 from Nockamixon Sailing School or Delmarva Sailing School and want to retake a class qualify for the Practice Sail Program.
Practice Sail students are mixed into our Group ASA Sailing Classes with first-time students, but they do not need to retake the written test, so it is all about helm time and fun.
You can participate in the Practice Sailing Program on any date shown on the Schedule page below for ASA101, ASA102, and ASA103, provided it is not already full, and there are at least two first-time students already signed up for the class.
Price includes the following:
- Sit in on the class you are retaking, just like the first time students, only you do not have to take the written test.
- Captain In You Study Guide for the class you retake (ASA101, ASA102, or ASA103).
- Students can bring their own Personal Flotation Device (PFD) or use one of the boats’ Type V PFDs for free.
