As you can see, I love the water! I love looking at it and particularly, being on it. What I really love is helping people to become sailors and to enjoy their boats.
American Sailing Association Instructor
Randy Deering has been teaching people to sail professionally for nearly 15 years. In that time, he has given instruction to more than 200 people, from 13 to 80 years old. He is certified to teach through ASA Level 104.
ASA 101
Basic Keelboat Sailing: the language of sailing; parts of the boat; points of sail; navigation rules; safety; maneuvering and docking under power; basic knots; lateral aids
ASA 103
Basic Cruising: boat handling under power and sail; anchoring; reefing; person overboard drill; compass course; weather and seamanship
ASA 104
Charter Boat Sailing: boat systems; provisioning; course plotting and chart work; knots and hitches; refueling and pump out
Each of these courses take an average of two days including classroom as well as on-the-water teaching and evaluation ending with a written exam. I focus on imparting confidence as well as competence and always have a good time doin it.
