ASA 104, Bareboat Cruising.
This is a 4-day/3-night course run on a schedule like ASA 103, but at different marinas, anchorages, or waters and locations, all TBA when booking the course. We offer it at Hudson River to NY Harbor, Long Island Sound, or Boston - Massachusetts Bay. This course requires provisioning done by the crew after arrival on the day of embarking the vessel. It also helps to bring your foul-weather gear. We will anchor overnight, stay at the mooring buoy, or dock at the marina. Overnight docking at the marina is optional at the discretion of the crew. The school will cover the cost of one night at the mooring. This is a custom course, and it might require you to be on the waiting list.
