Become A Sailing Instructor this Fall
Are you a sailor that feels the need to share your knowledge & love of sailing with others?
The American Sailing Association was organized to establish national standards for sailing instructor certification in the United States. We take experienced instructors and expert sailors and give them the tools they need to become certified sailing instructors.
ASA Sailing Instructor clinics test existing skills and knowledge while teaching a structured curriculum and proven presentation techniques.
