Class Description:
ASA102 Keelboat 2 Sailing: 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 on improving and perfecting their sailing skills over a two-day period. Great emphasis is put on understanding the angle of attack, sail shape, and twist in order 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 to steer up wind and downwind without 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 and Heaving-to.
