Intermediate Sailing Class

Intermediate Sailing Lessons

Ready to accelerate your sailing journey? Our ASA 103/104 Combo Class is an immersive, five-day live-aboard course that combines two of ASA’s most essential certifications into one incredible experience. You’ll learn to confidently skipper 30'–50' auxiliary-powered keelboats on coastal and inland waters, including overnight anchoring and extended cruising.

From route planning and advanced sail trim to meal prep and system maintenance, you’ll practice real-world cruising skills in a supportive, small-group setting—while living aboard a sailboat in the stunning Pacific Northwest.
