	Don't get fooled,      You can learn the basic mechanics of sailing in a
      weekend or two,  BUT  Sound judgment and safe habits only come through practice  over an extended period,  and at 
	Windsong,  our outings are priced to encourage you to sail all season  for less than you'd spend for a single course at other schools! 
	Sequence Of Classes: 
      
      You can take the following ground school classes in any order except where "Pre-requisites"are noted, but you must take the ASA written exams in
      numerical order.  
      You can begin your sailing outings while
      waiting for the ground school dates or the ground school classes while
      waiting for openings on a sailing outing.  It doesn't matter which you
      begin first, you'll enjoy and learn from the very first moment of your
      experience! 
       All "100" level classes
      are ground schools, and "200" levels are the
      on-the-water counterparts for the "100" level classes.  All of the "300" level classes are
      non certification programs and are provided as electives for enrichment
      and sailing enjoyment.  
      Continued
      Learning: 
      Experience has taught us that sailing and navigation
      knowledge and abilities get rusty without frequent and regular use. 
      Many schools only offer courses, but at Windsong we offer solutions. 
      Our solution to learning is fun and methodical in practice and
      availability. Our programs are offered year round in several convenient
      locations. Once you complete your ground school classes, you can return
      year after year to audit these fine programs at no additional cost. 
      This policy is designed to ensure "Success Without 
		Stress!" This ensures that your knowledge and abilities remain current and continue
      to advance year after year.  Our continuous on-the-water sailing
      outings are scheduled separate from ground school classes and are
      available to you at your convenience. 
      A.S.A.
      Certification Exams: 
      
      Windsong conducts sailing programs for the Parks and Recreation
      Service as an adult sport and recreation facility.  For that reason
      not all of our students desire certification.  To offer the most
      affordable and attractive programs possible the cost of certification is
      not included in our fees stated below, since there are many students who
      are not interested in the certification option.  Those who do desire
      certification can elect that option at anytime during their
      training.  A.S.A. certification consists of a written exam followed
      by demonstration of skills, knowledge and abilities on-the-water. 
      Written exams are available for 101,103,104,105 & 106 programs for an
      additional $65. The sailing exams are conducted during the regular sailing
      outings at no additional cost.

		Whether you've just taken the Basic Sailing
      Theory ground school or you're waiting for the next class offering, join our weekly weekend two-hour sailing outings on Lake
      Lanier.  The sailing outings are designed to compliment the ground
      school programs with "hands on" training. Depending on the size
      vessel, classes are limited to 4 or 5 students.  Enjoy our fleet of
      tiller and wheel vessels ranging from 20 to 28 ft.  You decide when to sail and for how long. 
      Select one
      or several outings combined for a full day of fun filled instruction. Sail
      with us all season or until you've achieved your personal goals.  Private outings are available, so invite your friends along for a
      leisurely sail aboard one of our private captained adventures! Basic
      Keelboat certification is available upon completion of the written exam
      and the sailing skill sets. Although the Basic Sailing Theory ground
      school is highly recommended in conjunction with the sailing
      outings, they are not a requirement due to our "open campus"
      approach conducted by the Parks and Recreation programs. We teach you how
      to sail on the water, but the ground schools are intended to help you
      understand the physics and theory of how it all works.  It doesn't
      matter which you learn first, but for a more complete understanding and
      enjoyment you really should plan to attend both!  We train in
      realistic conditions, so come wind, no wind, rain or shine all outings are
      conducted whenever we can ensure your safely, so come prepared to experience all the gusto! 
      How can you sail without wind, you say?  There are many skill sets to master before becoming a competent sailor. 
      Many are not wind related.  Anchoring, departing, docking, marlinspike, boat systems, radio
      communications, rules of the road, meteorology and navigation are just a
      few of the drills that we conduct during those brief periods of wind
      lulls.   Check our Outings
      web page for dates and times.

      Upon completion of the  Basic Coastal Cruising (BCC)
      and/or 
      Bareboat Charter (BBC) ground school classes, travel to our facility in 
		Burnt Store Marina, Punta Gorda
		(near Ft. Myers Florida)
      to apply your new knowledge as you navigate the tidal
      waters of Charlotte Harbor. You'll gain valuable experience
      sailing in the bay, offshore, and along the Intracoastal Waterway (ICW). 
       
	You should plan your travel to arrive Thursday night and make reservations
      to stay at one of the local Inns or 
		
      
		Burnt Store Marina Inn.  Friday morning 
		at 9 am you'll
      come aboard to spend four days sailing the bay, ocean
      and ICW. At least one night will be spent at anchor and one in a marina where you'll dine
      with your classmates by the waterside.  Evaluations 
	on the final day will end  around 3 pm.  
	This can be an exotic
      vacation outing or a challenge of the A.S.A. Basic Coastal Cruising or
      Bareboat Charter "on-the-water" certification.  With
      special approval, both
      certifications may be combined
		for a 5 day class provided that everyone in the class agrees and are strong
      candidates to challenge both certifications. To combine 
		certification with a mini vacation, additional days can be added at
		$295 per day.  If you'd feel more 
		comfortable with the volatility of weather, airlines, your health and 
		business conflicts you may elect to purchase travel insurance to cover 
		these risks.  You may choose from many fine underwriters including
		Insure My 
		Trip.

      Depending on the program selected, you'll sail in the Gulf from Punta Gorda to either Venice
      or Naples or to the Dry Tortugas, depending on the weather. You will stand watch, navigate and
      oversee
      all aspects of the operation of the vessel.  All meals, except
      dinners when in port, and docking is

      MSS-301: Sunset/Moonlight Cruises                                   
      3 hrs $70 
      During the summer, join one of our monthly social outings
      and enjoy the companionship of your "someone special" and that
      of others aboard your relaxing sail into the sunset! 
		Light snacks and  soft drinks are provided during the Saturday evening cruises to complete your special evening on
      the water.  Even if "Romance
      Isn't In The Air", it is still a great way to introduce a "non sailor" to the
      joys of being on the water, so make reservations to bring your
      "special significant other" along to share the evening. Check
      our Outings
      web page for dates and times.  
      FUN-302: Fun Sails                                   
      2 hrs $70 
      So you think you've learned it all.  So you've completed most of your training and you think
      you're ready to Bareboat Charter.  How do you find out for sure,
      without actually going and doing it?  Already know how to sail, but
      don't own a boat or know crew to go sailing with?  Sound
      familiar?  Weekend "Fun Sails"
		are an opportunity for you come down and rent the boat.  Go where ever your heart
      desires and do whatever pleases you.  The boat can 
		accommodateup to 5
      students per trip, so you all better take a vote, but there will be no
      instruction.  You'll be running the boat, just as if you had Bareboat
      Chartered the boat. We put a Captain on-board for insurance purposes, but
      you can sail the boat anywhere you desire for 2 hours!  
		Advance reservations are required.  Our "Fun
		 Saturday" sails, 
		"Wonderful Wednesday" and
      "Fantastic Friday" evenings are 
		designed for those who'd like to set their own course and
      experience exercising their own judgment and knowledge.  Not everyone 
		can arrive at the docks by 6:30 on a weekday evening but for those who 
		can, this could represent a tremendous value.  
		If not, just join us for the Saturday Fun Sail Outings. Perhaps you
      don't own a boat nor know anyone else to go sailing with.  "Fun
      Sails" provide many opportunities to existing students to go sailing
      with the safety and comfort of a Captain on board, but you make all the decisions
      and do all the work as these outings are not instructional.  Check
      our Outings
      web page for dates and times.

      NSM-330: Nutrition, A Sailor's Best
      Mate                    
      1 evening seminar $49 ("Early Bird" $39 if register 
		60 days in advance)  
      Nutrition
      is not an accurate science and neither is sailing.  Combining the
      worst of the two can be dangerous.  Nutrition is of considerable
      interest to the mariner. This program will cover  the basic interrelationships
      between the chemistry of nourishment and the ability of the body to
      reason, endure stress, and survive the elements.  Additionally,
      nutritional protocols for safe sailing, first aid and remedies for various
      symptoms will be discussed.

	A Matter Of Liability                    
	Accidents happen and 
	that's why we all purchase insurance.  Insurance is a small price to 
	pay for the comfort and security of protecting ourselves financially from 
	any potential liability associated with your sailing.  As a Windsong 
	student you are insured while aboard our training boats however you may be 
	responsible for any amount up to the deductible, depending on the 
	circumstances under which any damages or losses occurred.  The deductibles range 
	from a few hundred dollars to several thousand, usually 1% of the hull value 
	of the vessel.  Often times winch handles may fall overboard or 
	students may accidentally ram the dock during maneuvers.  To avoid 
	liability for the deductibles in unfortunate situations, Windsong offers a 
	Damage Deductible Reduction membership plan that reduces your potential 
	liability to $50.  This coverage is affective from the date of your 
	enrollment and extends for 12 months with annual premium renewals due on 
	your anniversary date.  The present premium for this coverage is $25, 
	obviously a great bargain for the comfort it provides.
