ASA102 Keelboat 2 Sailing Class: Although ASA102 is numerically between ASA101 and ASA103, ASA102 Keelboat 2 is not a prerequisite for ASA103 or any higher ASA Sailing Classes, and may be taken even by students who have already completed ASA103 and ASA104 on-the-water sailing classes. ASA102 Keelboat 2 is a sail trim class and is for students who want to focus, over a two day period, on improving and perfecting their sailing skills. Great emphasis is put on understanding angle of attack, sail shape, and twist to achieve proper sail trim when close hauled, reaching, or running, and how to use sail controls including main sheet, jib sheet, genoa track cars, halyard tension, traveler, outhaul, boom vang, and leech line in both upwind and downwind sailing. Also learn how to use sail trim and/or crew weight to steer upwind and downwind without the use of the rudder, how to properly steer and trim sails when ducking around objects on the water, how to use the Slow and Go technique to approach a mooring under sail, and how to apply an air brake to stop. Demonstrate Figure eight and Quick Stop Man Overboard Recovery methods and demonstrate Heaving-to.
