Yesterday, I completed my sailing class at the International Sailing School. I am now ASA Keelboat certified and now feel more prepared to teach young kids about sailing. It was a great experience, especially because I was the only one in my class. I attached some pictures of me and my instructor, Bill. If you've ever wanted to learn how to sail or just want a refresher, I highly recommend the ISS. They have great instructors, great boats, and have opportunities for people of all backgrounds.
P.S. Go Penguins! Stanley Cup Champions!
Congratulations on your certification! As a mentor to kids in sailing, with your certification you should be competent.. Keep in mind that teaching young kids how to sail and dealing with all the risk management issues associated with teaching sailing is different than taking friends out on a day sail.. consider getting an instructor certification before doing so. Both ASA and US SAILING offer instructor courses
