Whether you've never touched a tiller or you're looking to upgrade your ASA certification, our instructors provide personalized coaching on Lake Michigan. Courses run from May through October, with most sessions departing from Burnham or Monroe harbors. The ASA 101 course covers points of sail, tacking, jibing, docking, and safety — typically completed in two full days. Intro sails are available as a one-time 3-hour session to see if sailing is right for you.
