Keelboats are lively, agile, fun to sail and ideal in light winds because they are so light. The two day ISSA Keelboat Crew Course was designed by Sail in Asia so that we could teach people in a two day program what usually takes 3 or 4 days on a yacht.
Our expertise in yacht training stretches back nearly 35 years and in that time we have learned a few things.
