Victoria Sailing School - Colorado's Oldest And Largest Sailing School

ASA Certification

In July 2007, the ASA (American Sailing Association) announced that they would start charging a one time $39.00 registration fee for all students wishing to obtain the ASA Basic Keelboat certification.  The Basic Keelboat Certification is a prerequisite for all other sailing certifications.  This fee includes a year of ASA membership.

Since many of our students are not interested in the ASA certification, we decided to include a Bluestorm inflatable life jacket instead of the ASA certification.  If you have a comfortable life jacket, the chances are much greater that you will wear it.  You should treat a life jacket the same way you treat a seat belt.  Be in the habit of using it.  Safety is our primary concern.  You need to wear a lifejacket while sailing with us.

If you want the ASA certification, we will gladly administer the exams, submit the paperwork to ASA, and supply you with a log book.  The cost to you will be the same as the ASA charges us (purchasing the items in bulk).  ASA costs are:
