Basic Keelboat - ASA Course 101
Basic
Keelboat is taught by ASA-certified instructors at Shorewood
Yacht Club on Lake Minnetonka aboard 26' keelboats. Qualified graduates will become
charter certified for day sailing on 20-27' keelboats.
Northern Breezes Sailing School and
Shorewood Yacht Club together offer you a terrific Learn-to-Sail Program with the combination of the finest school and a
superb fleet of 26' cabin sailboats located at Shorewood Yacht
Club, just minutes west of Excelsior on beautiful Lake Minnetonka
near the intersection of Highway 7 and County Road 19.
This is a three- or four-session, 12-hour course taught by Northern Breezes
Sailing School instructors certified by the American Sailing
Association (ASA). Classes meet mornings, afternoons or evenings for
three or four hours. Classes are limited to three students. This
small seminar environment provides a great
instructor to student ratio for very effective skipper and crew training. Each session starts with a briefing on
the day’s lesson, getting underway, sailing exercises and ends
with docking and securing the boat.
Each student receives the
Sailing Made Easy textbook, video/DVD, Federal Regulations booklet and Log Book.
Upon successful completion of both the on-the-water and written
exam, the Basic Keelboat graduate receives American Sailing
Association membership (a $39 value), and seals for the Log Book, and, an invitation to join the
Northern Breezes Boat Club to continue sailing without the
requirement to buy a boat; all while wearing your recently
earned "skipper's hat!"
Course

Classes are cancelled and rescheduled due to weather: no wind,
too much wind, potential lightening or pouring rain. Sailing is
not an endurance test. It is fun, safe learning
of a lifelong skill set. Graduates
meet all the prerequisites for more advanced courses and the Northern Breezes
Boat Club.
Course Fee:
$449 singles. $799 couples (any two people signing up
together) sharing materials. Family and friends option: if three
people sign up together the total is $999 if they share
materials.
Additional course textbooks may be
purchased.
Family and Friends:
Basic Keelboat is offered as a Family and Friends course! If you have family
members or friends who do not want to earn certification through
the American Sailing Association (ASA) or, who are not old
enough to be certified, but would like to come along to learn at
whatever level while you are being certified, this is the option
for you!
We offer 1, 2, or 3 certifications in a 12-hour course format
spread over 3 or 4 days. Up to 4 people in addition to the
instructor can be on the boat for this Family and Friends
course. In certain locations we offer 4 certifications in a
15-hour course format spread over 4 or 5 days. All Family and Friends Basic Keelboat courses are
customized for the student and group's needs and schedule. This is a great mother - daughter / father - son option. You pick the combination!
Instructor to Student Ratio is One to
Three Maximum!
