Women’s ASA 101 Class

✨ All-Women’s ASA 101 Sailing Class ✨
Join us for our very first women-only ASA 101 sailing course, taught by WCM’s own Ann Auwerda!

What You’ll Learn in ASA 101 (Basic Keelboat)

• Sailing Basics – Understanding points of sail, wind direction, and how to control the boat using sails and rudder.
• Boat Handling – Tacking, jibing, steering, and trimming sails for different conditions.
• Safety at Sea – Essential knots, safety gear, crew overboard procedures, and how to navigate safely in a harbor or open water.
• Rules of the Road – Basic right-of-way rules and communication with other vessels.
• Rigging & Boat Care – How to prepare the boat before sailing and properly secure it after.
• Teamwork & Confidence – Rotating roles so you experience trimming sails, steering, and skippering.

By the end of ASA 101, students are able to sail a small keelboat in light to moderate winds, act as a confident crew member, and take the first step toward becoming a certified skipper.

Why Take a Women’s Sailing Class?

• Comfortable Learning Environment – Many women feel more at ease asking questions and practicing skills in a women-only setting, free from judgment or intimidation.
• Build Confidence on the Water – These classes are designed to encourage independence and self-reliance at the helm, helping students gain the confidence to skipper a boat themselves.
• Supportive Community – You’ll meet other like-minded women who share your interest in sailing, often forming friendships and future sailing partners.
• Empowerment & Leadership – Sailing requires decision-making, teamwork, and problem-solving. Women’s classes focus on giving every student a chance to lead, take the helm, and manage the boat.
• Fun & Adventure – Beyond skills, it’s a chance to enjoy time on the water, disconnect from routine, and do something adventurous in a supportive group.
