Virgin Islands Sailing Lessons

St Thomas, Virgin Islands (ContentDesk) August 10, 2006 -- Fair Wind Sailing School -- Americas Best Sailing School -- announces the addition of advanced sailing lessons to its Caribbean sailing program. Fair Wind will be the first and only ASA sailing school in the Virgin Islands to offer such a program. We are thrilled to be able to offer this option to our students, commented David Bello, President of Fair Wind Sailing Inc. The advanced sailing lessons are ideal in the Caribbean and the Virgin Islands make a perfect base. Bello continued, Fair Wind is pleased to extend our leadership position as the premier sailing school in the Virgin Islands.Fair Wind will teach Advanced Sailing (ASA 106) and Coastal Navigation (ASA 104) in a week-long, live-aboard setting similar to its popular Instant Bareboater class which provides ASA Certification from beginning through ASA 104, bareboat chartering. The Advanced sailing class will add to the instructional program night-time sailing, night-time man-over-board drills and a continuous 24 hour sail.

In addition, it will allow students to visit exciting Caribbean islands like St Martin and Anguilla, in addition to the US and British Virgin Islands in a one-week, live-board sailing class.

Review - I wouldn't sail the Virgin Islands without the latest copy of this guide. It is one of the better cruising guides to the busiest charter area in the world. I did like it better with the spiral binding in the earlier editions. Much easier to turn to a section and leave it open.

Review - I recently did a sailing course in the BVI and this book came as part of the package. It was an invaluable asset to sailing in the Virgin Islands and I highly recommend it before going there. Details on restaurants, places to anchor for the day and overnight anchorages. This is a great reference book!
