Prepare to take the on-the-water certification in Spring 2024 at https://asa.com/online-class/asa-102/. For the last 40 years, there has been a curious hole in the ASA curriculum, with ASA 101 leading directly into ASA 103. This spring, our schools will start teaching our exciting new course, ASA 102: Keelboat 2. This course is for any sailor interested in building their core sailing skills. This includes becoming more proficient at sail trim and close-quarter maneuvering. It also includes improving your crew skills and working together as a team to make your vessel move more efficiently through the water.

A short clip from our latest release, which looks at basic boat docking. Executing a tight turn in a sailboat is dependent on which way our prop walk affects our control. A prop walk to port means our boat does a tighter turn to starboard, and vice versa. We have a look at how boats behave in close quarters and what to look out for when leaving or approaching a dock. Covers essential topics such as prop walk and steerage, as well as setting up slip lines and bridles.. All in an easy to follow, animated tutorial, created in Blender3D. 👍 Don't forget to Like, Share, and Subscribe for More Adventures! #SailingAdventure #learntosail #sailingtutorials #tutorials #sailinglife #yachtlife #travel #adventure #blender3d #blender #animation https://www.skipperblogs.com/searchingforcoconuts Theme song: (Audio Network) Aotearoa (Mark Williams, Adam Alexander, Bruce Maginnis) For those who wish to contribute to help keep our journey going, please use our Patreon link below, or donate through PayPal (link is on channel banner), much appreciated. https://www.patreon.com/searchingforcoconuts https://searching-for-coconuts.skipperblogs.com/
