Practice Sail Programs
After you complete ASA101 and/or ASA103, ASA recommends that each ASA level be augmented with 25-30 hours of practice, but 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, one of our two Practice Sailing Programs described below may be what you need to turn you into a confident sailor. With either Practice Sail Program, you do not have to take the written test so it is all fun and great practice.
In addition to our own alumni, students from other ASA affiliated sailing schools are welcome to participate in Nockamixon Sailing School Practice Sail Programs. We allow this because we feel confident that once they experience the quality of our classes, they will not want to go anywhere else.
These two unique Practice Sail Programs are reason enough by itself for any serious student to choose Nockamixon Sailing School for their sailing education.
