##Course Description

ASA 103: Basic Coastal Cruising is a comprehensive sailing course that equips students with the essential skills and knowledge needed to confidently navigate and handle a sailboat in near-coastal waters.

By the end of ASA 103, participants will be well-prepared to embark on coastal cruising adventures with competence and safety awareness, making it an ideal step towards becoming a proficient sailor.
