ASA 102 Course Description
ASA 102 is the brand new American Sailing Association certification for 2024. Sign-up for our newsletter to be informed when ASA 102 becomes available at Afterguard!
ASA 102 Multiple Choice Test
To earn your graduation signature for ASA 102, you must pass both the multiple-choice written test, with a minimum score of 85%, and the on-the-water skills test, which requires 100% proficiency.
If you do not pass the written evaluation, you’ll be invited to repeat the necessary portions.
Life Jacket and Safety Equipment
We can loan you a personal flotation device (PFD), also known as a lifejacket, along with other safety equipment. PFDs must be worn at all times when outside the cabin while the boat is underway. For your safety, put it on before the boat starts moving, especially when departing from or returning to the dock.
ASA Certification
Once you’ve passed the course, ASA will mail you a certification sticker to add to your logbook.
