Dates: Feb 21 and Feb 28; 0900am - 0400pm

Ever looked at a chart and thought, “I’ll just follow the boat in front of me”?
Good news — help is coming.

Our upcoming ASA 105 Navigation Class is designed to turn confused sailors into confident navigators. You’ll learn how to read charts, plot a course, understand tides and currents, and actually know where you are (even when the GPS decides not to cooperate).

Less guessing.
More confidence.
Fewer “Are we supposed to be here?” moments.

Join us, sharpen your skills, and sail smarter.
