ASA Certified Instruction
PYC is in its ninth season as an American Sailing Association (ASA) training facility and our ASA classes are very popular, consistently selling out. Printable list of classes here. Instructor Bruce Liese has been once again named one of ASA's Instructors of the Year for 2007.
2008 Classes
Weekend ASA Basic Keelboat Classes
at PYC
June 14-15; July 12-13; August 16-17
We now offer our basic keelboat classes earlier in the season and they are smaller classes. You will learn basic sailing skills, rigging, safety, sail vocabulary, knot tying, and much more. These classes still cost only $150 for PYC members and $250 for nonmembers.
One-Day Sailing Class for Beginners (Adult)
May 11
The purpose of this class is to introduce beginning and inexperienced sailors to the basics of sailing. This course is an ideal prerequisite to ASA Basic Keelboat Classes for those who have never sailed. The cost is $150 for a 6-hour day of sail instruction.
ASA Coastal Cruising Classes
Monthly in San Diego, California
In these popular live aboard classes you will learn to sail on coastal waters and get certified for chartering sailboats worldwide. The $2,000 fee includes all materials, exams, certification, and living expenses for four days in sunny California. It’s a great way to combine sail education with a terrific vacation. Dates are “by arrangement” every month of the year.
Introduction to Spinnaker Sailing
By arrangement
It’s every sailors dream: to sail into the sunset under the beauty and splendor of a spinnaker. In this one-day class students learn the basics of spinnaker terminology and handling.
