Embarking on a sailing adventure from Duluth, MN to Bayfield, WI with a stopover in Cornucopia, WI promises to be an unforgettable experience. This journey takes you down the St. Louis River from our winter home at Spirit Lake Marina. You learn about currents, following channels, passing through and under bridges. Next lies the heart of the Duluth-Superior Harbor. This major deep-water port accommodates vessels up to 1,000 feet in length yet is a great recreational location as well for sailing, boating and fishing.

This might prove to be one of your favorite courses. It brings together everything you have learned before while adding new skills such as night sailing and the rigors of a 12- to 24-hour transit. Advanced Coastal Cruising (ASA 106) teaches more advanced sailing skills for the sailor with weekend cruising experience. The course is held on well equipped auxiliary sailboats. Students will navigate out of sight of land, maintain a watch schedule while underway day and night, and prepare meals aboard during our destination crossings. Students will use navigation skills learned in Coastal Navigation, utilize radar and/or advanced navigation techniques for nighttime and restricted visibility, and will be prepared for heavy-weather sailing. Nighttime crew overboard (COB) and emergency procedure drills are conducted underway when possible.
