CERTIFICATION TRAINING FAQ

Am I ready to go sail the America’s cup?

No, you are still a novice sailor, but you are developing your basic skills to the next level.  You are now more prepared to go sailing on your own, with friends, with family, or in a regatta setting.

What is my path to success from here?

You will leave the camp with qualifications to continue to sail. We will be providing additional sailing opportunities to those that complete the certification camps. Pathways in cruising, certification though US Sailing, racing, and potential Warrior Sailing team involvement.

If I attend the Certification Camp do I automatically leave with an ASA certification?

No. Certification is not solely based on attending the Certification Camp. As a certified mobile ASA school, Warrior Sailing will use the ASA Basic Keelboat curriculum during the training camp. Each participant has the option to be certified in the various skills being taught during the camp. It is not required that you complete the certification, but will be available to those that pass all of the necessary skills outlined by the ASA.  

Can I apply?
