Looking for Sailing Drills? Level Up Your Skills: ASA 111 vs. Friday Sailing Drills
Are you ready to transform from a passenger into a confident, capable mariner? This season at Lake St. Clair Sailing School, we are offering two distinct paths to help you master the waves. Whether you are looking for a formal certification or just want to spend your Friday evenings refining your technique, we have the perfect spot for you.
Option 1: Friday Sailing Practice (The Ultimate Skill Refresher)
If you’ve completed your ASA 101 but feel like your “sea legs” could use a bit more muscle memory, our Friday Sailing Practice sessions are for you. These three-hour intensives are designed to turn theory into instinct.
What we focus on:
- Precision Maneuvers: Perfecting the timing of your tacks and jibes for smooth, efficient sailing.
- Safety Drills: Rehearsing the crucial Figure-Eight Man Overboard (MOB) recovery until it becomes second nature.
- Teamwork: Learning to communicate effectively with a crew in a low-pressure, high-learning environment.
The Goal: To build the confidence needed to handle emergency situations and complex boat handling without hesitation.

Looking for something more structured and permanent? The ASA 111 Review & Refinement standard is a unique, customizable certification. Unlike other courses with a set curriculum, ASA 111 is built around your specific goals.
Why choose ASA 111?
- Targeted Learning: You decide the goals before the lesson—whether it’s heavy weather sailing, docking, or advanced sail trim.
- Expert Feedback: Our instructors provide a personalized recommended plan and curriculum after your session.
- Permanent Record: This certification becomes a permanent part of your ASA student record and can be taken multiple times for different subjects.
