Review: Good ASA101 & 105 Instruction
My wife and I had a great experience taking both the ASA101 course and the ASA105 Coastal Navigation course from Northern Breezes. Instructors were knowledgeable, patient and friendly.

Took the on water portion in Minnesota and the facilities and boats were good.

Review: Basic Keelboat Class - Waste of time and money
Poorly taught class. The boat was in such horrible condition the jib sail wouldn't even retract all the way because the rope was too short. The wind direction meter didn't work. The outboard wouldn't idle down low enough to shift from forward to reverse. We took a break half way through the day to make a list of everything wrong with the boat so they can fix it. Seems like something I would do before classes start.
Don't waste you Money at this school.
