After spending a week on KY Lake at an ASA Instructors Qualification Clinic (IQC), CRSA now has a group of Instructors certified in Basic Sailing, Basic Keel Boat, Bare Boat Chartering, and Costal Navigation (ASA 101-105). The challenging week included multiple paper examinations, evaluations of teaching ability, and on the water sailing skills testing.

BOAT SAFETY - Get ready for 2009

Is your boat ready for the season?  This is an appropriate time to review the safety requirements to be sure that your boat is ready.  We ran across an Online Vessel Safety Check (Virtual VSC) which helps you determine if your boat would pass a USCG safety check. http://www.safetyseal.net/what_is_vsc.asp  The site provides an interactive survey provided by the USCG and US Power Squadrons.  The requirements are described along with helpful safety tips and guidance.  Also provided is a printable form check list, and a link to a nearby member of the Coast Guard Auxiliary who will assist in the process.
