This course is patterned after the format of the American Sailing Association's learn to sail programs. It does not take the place of an ASA instructor or on-the-water practice and experience. However it contains a body of essential knowledge to advance your skills and seamanship. This course contains over three hours of content – utilizing over 250 colorful pictures, graphics and narrations by a senior ASA instructor to add to your experience of having “been there done that" before you ever face the situation on the water. The content is divided into seven modules: Terminology (Sailor-speak); Anchoring, Rules of the Road; Charts and Navigation; Knots to Know; and Required/Good to Know. Supplemental content covers several topics in detail… all essential knowledge to advance your confidence and competence while sailing an auxiliary powered sloop rig in light to moderate sea conditions and winds.

I was very disappointed in the course. It claimed to ensure that I would "Ace <my> 103" exam so I studied very hard on the course. I did not pass the course. At least 25% of what was on the exam was never mentioned, and there was a lot of content that was never addressed in the videos. I wonder if the fact that it was created in 2016 was an issue? I feel like it was a waste of money and time and wonder if a refund is possible.

Very knowledgeable teacher, speaks slowly so you can understand, has great diagrams, and a sense of humor. He also has a very nice voice to listen to as it is calming and soothing.

I think this is a really good way to cover a lot of material for the 103. I really enjoyed it and it is true this did more than prepare me for the test ~ really enhanced my overall sailing knowledge.

Excellent material presentation. No video glitches. The only thing lacking is a self test at the end.

There is no audio. The captions are not good. There seems to be a lot of assumed knowledge and it jumps around a bit in terms of flow.

Captain does an excellent job explaining each term. I love how he puts a picture with each term in order for me to process what each one means.

Good program following on 101 with coverage of 101 and 103 topics. Good examples. Wish there was practice exam available as part of package.

Using it as a review for the ASA 103 Challenge. Information is concise and is acting as a good refresher. I'm sure it will help when I take the challenge here in a few days.

I don't learn from books nearly as well as I learn from audio video. The videos in this course are excellent, thank you so much for making these!!! :-)

This course is true to Capt's word --- you use this course - you will pass the written exam for Basic Cruising !

really like it, follows and covers everything the ASA course requires. After watching Keelboat 101 - I scored a 99 out of a possible 100 on the ASA test...thank you Capt. Howard.

Great overview to supplement the ASA 103 course. Well done and accurate. Volume on some modules is a tad too faint.

I've just reviewed this course and recommend it to anyone taking ASA 103. It is good for previewing your class content prior to going on the water or reviewing the major points before sitting for the exam. I especially recommend it to those who would challenge the Basic Coastal Cruising certificate in lieu of attending a course. It is closely aligned with both the Knowledge Standards and the written exam. Captain Howard's presentation is careful and accurate. His discussions reflect his skill and experience in teaching the course.
