Description

4 Day Class

(AS 101 & 103 required)

This is the intermediate cruising standard for individuals with basic cruising experience.  The student will act as skipper or crew of a 30 – 50 foot boat sailing by day in coastal waters.  This course includes knowledge of boat systems (engine cooling, fuel, electrical, marine head), maintenance procedures, and emergency situations.  You will plan and provision for your cruise, learn more about weather and radio communications, plot and sail a course to a destination, anchor overnight, and dock in a transient slip or pick up a mooring.  You will also learn more about sail trim. During the class you will be expected to cook underway and at anchor as well as do clean-up chores.  We now include ASA 116 – Dinghy and Outboard certification along with this class.

Our tentative 4-day cruise plan for ASA 104 – Bareboat Cruising may include the Magothy River, Annapolis, Rhode River, Wye River, St. Michaels, Chester River.  Some overnights will be at anchor; others may be on a mooring or in a marina.
