Afterguard Sailing & Boatcare Clinics
One of the best things about sailing is that there’s always something new to learn, or a skill you can continue to refine. Afterguard Clinics are designed to keep that spirit of discovery and enjoyment alive, both before and after students complete the internationally recognized American Sailing Association (ASA) certification courses. While ASA courses cover a broad range of material to learn and apply, Afterguard’s classes and short clinics focus on building the confidence needed to put that knowledge into action on the water, immediately and effectively.
