ASA 114, Cruising Catamaran | Modern Sailing

ASA 114, Cruising Catamaran

2 days, 9am - 4:30pm

Catamarans, otherwise known as multihulls, are quickly becoming the preferred charter boat of the Caribbean and South Pacific. As cruising vessels, multihulls offer a few advantages over monohulls - spaciousness, speed, stability, and a shallow draft that allows you to anchor closer to shore.

Our ASA 114 course will introduce you to catamaran systems and boat handling skills to give you confidence as a multihull vessel sailor.

The Cruising Catamarans Made Easy textbook is included with your purchase of this course and will be mailed to you. If you wish to pick up your textbook in person or if you sign up less than a week from the first day of your course, please contact our office. Optionally, you may purchase the Cruising Catamarans Made Easy e-book directly from the ASA. Advance study of your textbook will enhance your success in this course.

Your ASA 114, Cruising Catamaran certification qualifies sailors to charter catamarans at popular sailing destinations worldwide. Modern Sailing club members also become qualified to charter vessels in our Catamaran Fleet.

This class is a complement to your ASA 104, Bareboat Cruising certification. 

There are three ways to sign up for this course - by phone (415) 331 - 8250, email, or by clicking the link below.

    Every aspect of Modern Sailing - training, syllabus, course materials, quality of the boats, quality of the instructors, and the very friendly and helpful staff - exceeded my expectations. Modern Sailing has a first class sailing program in an environment with challenging winds and currents. I look forward to coming back to charter a boat and certainly plan to continue my sailing training.

    I love sailing in the San Francisco Bay and greatly appreciate everything that MSC has to offer, the classes, clinics, club sails, racing and charters. I enjoy our supportive sailing community and use every opportunity to spend time on the water. After obtaining the certifications from MSC I did my first charter in Croatia in 2022 with my family. It was amazing and we’re looking forward to returning soon!

    I would like to compliment Stan Lander for his coaching, counseling and teaching Heavy Weather Offshore Sailing. Stan was very accommodating to all of the student's interests and shared his many years of insight on handling the boat in heavy seas. I would certainly recommend Stan and this course to sheltered waters sailors. My confidence in handling a boat of this size was certainly enhanced by the experience.

    Here are some snaps of Our Saturday, August 20, 2022 Modern Sailing Expedition with Captain Robert Bivin, who was outstanding. Please convey photos and thanks to him. He is an outstanding individual, leader and sailing instructor. His knowledge and experience made us all feel safe and our Farallones Day Trip educational and just amazing.

    I've taken two classes at MSS&C and was very happy with the program. This is also a great club with lots of opportunities for camaraderie and practice on the water. The boats in the fleet are fantastic and kept in tip-top shape. I highly recommend for all sailors and would-be sailors!
