This course has no prerequisites! This means no matter where you are in your sailing education, you can gain the skills to become a competent navigator.
Your ASA Coastal Navigation Study Kit, which includes a textbook with chapter quizzes, DVD study guide, and a practice chart, are included with the purchase of your course and will be mailed to you. If you wish to pick up your study materials in person or sign up less than a week from the first day of your course, please contact our office. Hands-on classroom instruction with your ASA certified instructor is intended to supplement the text rather than replace it.
