Night Sailing and Radar Clinic (ASA certification not applicable)

Course Objective

Although night sailing is covered in our ASA 103 Basic Coastal Cruising class, sailing in the dark is a skill which requires lots of practice, confidence, and know-how.  After this four hour evening class, you will be able to effectively utilize radar to guide you safely back into the harbor at night.  There is no ASA certification applicable for this course.
