Basic Keelboat - ASA Course 101
Lake Pepin, Pepin, WI
 Basic
Keelboat is taught by ASA-certified instructors on Lake Pepin in
Pepin, WI, aboard a 22' keelboat. Qualified graduates will become
charter certified for day sailing on 20-27' keelboats.
Northern Breezes Sailing School offers learn-to-sail classes on
scenic Lake Pepin in Pepin, WI on a Catalina Capri 22. Pepin
Marina is found one hour southeast of the Twin Cities on
Wisconsin Hwy 35--approximately 20 minutes from Redwing or
Wabasha, MN.
This 12-hour course taught by Northern Breezes
Sailing School instructors certified by the American Sailing
Association (ASA). Classes meet weekends for two 6-hour sessions
with break,
and 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
new Sailing Made Easy textbook, Fundamentals
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), 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!"

Boat Club.
