Coastal Cruising Practice Sails
For ASA 103 graduates only, our Coastal Cruising Practice Sails allow you to sharpen your skills on a larger cruising sailboat. Share tips & stories with up to five other 103 grads, as you sail farther afield with three hours of cruising time.
These are meant to be a compliment to, not a replacement for, our J/24 101 Practice Sails. You can never know the basics too well.
