ASA 101 lesson book
A chapter-style route through the whole Basic Keelboat map: read the core idea, answer a quick recall check, run the linked trainer, then prove the skill with a concrete dockside, simulator, written, or on-water task.
Study sequence
ASA describes ASA 101 as preparation to skipper a 20-27 ft sloop-rigged keelboat in daylight, light-to-moderate conditions. US Sailing frames the equivalent Basic Keelboat outcome as responsible skipper-and-crew competence in familiar waters. This lesson book turns that into a practical route: language, boat, wind, maneuvers, rules, safety, planning, close quarters, systems, and final assessment.
