Theory & Exam Nights

Basic Keelboat & Basic Coastal Cruising Theory Classes

All of the Victoria Sailing School's courses are a combination of theory (taught at the Colorado Executive Club Building) and practical (taught at either Chatfield Reservoir, Cherry Creek Reservoir or Lake Carter) sessions.

Theory classes run from 7:00 to 10:00 p.m. on the dates indicated on the theory schedule shown below. Course outlines and all lecture notes are supplied by the school, but you should bring pencil and notebook to class. Students taking the ASA101 (Basic Keelboat Sailing) will attend the First Theory and the Know Your Knots sessions shown on the following schedules. Practical sessions can start immediately after taking the first theory session.

Writing Exams:  Any of the nights that we are holding a regular 'First Theory' or a 'Know Your Knots' class, you can come a write exams.  Please arrive prior to 6:45 so that we can set you up without bothering a class in session.

Students can attend any theory or knots class to write their ASA Exams. There will be 3 final exam nights at the end of the season :

  • Friday, October 27th
  • Friday, November 10th
  • Friday, November 24th
