Hello ASA Friends and Family,
It’s a fresh new year and we’ve set our sights on sailing as much as we can. 2021 will take ASA to a new level and one of our goals is to bring in lots of new sailors. While our plans are to add a batch of young and diverse sailors to our community, we also want to help our faithful members get out on the water as much as possible. This month we talk about charters and sailing outside familiar waters. Is this the year that you bareboat charter? We hope so. If you haven’t already done so, sign up at one of our many ASA affiliates to get your Bareboat 104 certification and, if you’re planning a bareboat in the Mediterranean, you will want to add an International Proficiency Certificate as well. Our biggest hope is that, by the summer months, we are all sailing with friends and family once again.
For now, stay safe and start planning your return to the water!
Happy New Year!
