ASA 118 - Docking Endorsement
Learn to Dock Safely!
One of the greatest challenges you will encounter after the Basic Coastal Cruising Course is undocking unfamiliar boats in unfamiliar situations. Comfortably operating larger boats in close quarters is the goal of this course. This one day session extends the BCC course by providing you with another full day focused on docking priorities.
After we train our crew, we will manipulate the boat in close quarters and practice docking and undocking repeatedly. This course takes the anxiety out of docking, and ultimately enjoy your day sails even more.
Prerequisites: ASA 103: Basic Coastal Cruising, or commensurate sailing experience
