ASA 101

Realizing I needed a serious sailing refresher, it was time to get look at sailing schools and hopefully complete this before the 2013 sailing season came to an end.

After some searching online, I found Black Rock Sailing School in Boston. After checking out their site and a call to the owner, Brenton Lochridge, I was signed up for their ASA 101 3 day sailing course on September 19-21.



Nice Colgate 26
Where the poop goes



USS Constitution. This is the boat that was the basis for the story "Master and Commander"

Nice location!

Captain Paul checking out the weather
We were able to use a new J80 for the last day of sailing. With strong winds and a fast boat, it was an exciting day on the water


Nice view of Boston
I would HIGHLY recommend this class to anyone need sailing instruction. Brenton runs a top notch school and Paul was an awesome, patient instructor.
