In cooperation with The New Jersey Sailing School, the second part of On-The-Water Training this year is designed for the members who are new to the sport and club, or who simply wish to improve their basic sailing skills and earn a certification in the process. It is comprised of a two-hour classroom discussion on the theory and principles of sail. The balance of the two days will be on the water in Pt. Pleasant, NJ. Upon successful completion of both the on-water evaluation and a written exam participants will receive an ASA certification in Basic Keelboat.
