- 1 Experienced sailors – An ASA “Challenge” involves submission of a sailing resume and prior approval before registering, then taking the written exam and practical skills tests with no academic instruction.
- * Tuition rates quoted do not include boat charter, instructor fee or additional expenses, if any.
- ** ASA 105 requires at least 5 participants to hold the course. If you request ASA 105, there may be a waiting period until other participants can be found.
Your instructor will coordinate with you on a mutually decided date and time; textbooks and course materials are provided to the student for self-study prior. Students are expected to have completed all assigned academic study, be prepared for instruction, and arrive on time for scheduled certifications.
Certifications are conducted on Cave Run Lake, Kentucky Lake, in local classroom facilities, or on instructional cruises in other waters. On-the-water instruction is conducted aboard Instructors’ private vessels, CRSA club-owned vessels, or chartered vessels.
* It Looks Like You Aren't Logged In * You must be logged in to fill out the registration form. Also, remember you must be an active member of the CRSA (dues-paid) to participate in the Beginning Sailing Class. See instructions a few sections above on this page for links to either obtain membership or revive an old membership. Thanks!
