ASA Sailing Classes
At East Carolina Sailing School, we are committed to your success. We understand that it is difficult to pick up everything you want to know and feel confident taking a sailboat out on your own after just one class. That is why we allow you to come back and retake our classes two more times, on a space available basis, with no additional charge. That includes the ASA 101, 103, and 104 classes. More…..
